Patient's question:
A week-old boy keeps vomiting and cannot eat milk; he vomits every time he feeds and cries constantly. What could be the reason?Current treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been administered.
Seeking help: How should this be treated?
Doctor's answer:
Here are the translated rules for reducing spitting up:1. Feed in adequate amounts, but avoid overfeeding.
2. Eat small meals more frequently to reduce the pressure on the stomach.
3. After changing diapers and during diaper changes, hold the baby upright on your shoulder and gently pat their back. This helps expel air swallowed into the stomach, reducing stomach pressure.
4. Do not feed too quickly or too eagerly; pause halfway through to allow the baby to breathe more comfortably.
