Patient's question:
Baby has just been born for twenty days and cries very badly every day. As long as the diaper (breastfeeding) is changed, the baby stops crying, but they always vomit milk in a spitting manner, sometimes vomiting a lot with milk coming out of their nose and mouth. I want to consult whether it's because of changing diapers too often or if the child is sick? Additionally, the child has gained six two (pounds) in twenty days. Is this normal? Should they normally double their weight?What kind of help is needed: Is the baby vomiting milk because they are changed diapers too often, or is the child sick? Is the child's weight gain normal? If not, what could be the cause?
Doctor's answer:
If the child is mentally normal and there are no abnormal situations recurring, weight gain is normal. Weight gain is related to the baby's constitution, and each baby's weight gain is different. If there is too much diaper changing, it may lead to vomiting milk again. When feeding, make sure the child's mouth covers the entire nipple without any gaps. After feeding, lift and lower the child gently with less force. These are suggestions for the question "Baby vomiting milk and weight gain issue?" I hope this helps you. Wishing you good health!
