Patient's question:
The baby is a little over a month old. The past two days, the baby has been vomiting milk and struggling to catch their breath. After feeding, when lying down, after a while, the baby turns red and moves their small hands frantically. It takes a long time to calm them down by holding them up and patting their back. The baby is in great pain, and I feel very sad. The baby is formula-fed—is it related to the formula?Doctor's answer:
Due to the baby eating too much, it has caused abdominal bloating, and the symptoms of vomiting and engorgement have reappeared. If the baby is still very engorged, you can let the baby lie on their stomach, and the milk will come out, which will improve the situation. Feed the baby a little less each time you change the diaper and feed them more frequently throughout the day. Since the baby is only one month old, their gastrointestinal absorption is not yet fully developed, which is why this situation may occur again. If you need help, please contact me. Wishing the baby a healthy growth. I hope you can understand my advice.
