When can calcium supplements be added?Doctor's answer:
At this age, it is relatively common for babies to spit up milk. This is because the baby's stomach is in a horizontal position, has a small capacity, and the cardiac sphincter connecting to the esophagus is relatively wide with poor locking function. Meanwhile, the pylorus connecting to the small intestine is relatively tight. Additionally, babies often swallow air while feeding, making it easy for milk to flow back into the mouth, leading to spitting up. If the baby cries, the spitting up will be more noticeable.After spitting up, if there are no other abnormalities, it is generally not a cause for concern, as it will gradually improve over time and will not interfere with the baby's growth and development. However, if the baby frequently vomits, and the vomit is yellow-green or coffee-colored, or if accompanied by symptoms such as high fever, nausea, or vomiting, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
