Does combining breast milk and formula make babies spit up more?

Patient's question:

What kind of assistance is needed without treatment: Breast milk and formula are mixed and eaten together, the baby vomits a lot, what's the reason

Doctor's answer:

The esophagus is relatively short, and the lower esophageal sphincter is relatively, so it's easy for children to vomit out what they eat. This is a normal phenomenon. However, it's important to rule out inflammatory diseases of the digestive tract and congenital gastrointestinal disorders. Some may also experience recurrent intestinal obstruction or intussusception.
When changing the diaper for the child, be a bit slower. After feeding, try to avoid lying them flat. Hold them upright for a while, gently pat their back to help with burping. It is recommended to take your child to the hospital for a gastrointestinal examination to confirm the diagnosis and provide active symptomatic treatment.
