Why does my baby always spit up?

Patient's question:

Currently 58 days old, since the full moon, there have been five or six more severe cases of spitting up milk. The specific symptoms include milk spraying from the mouth and nose, accompanied by difficulty breathing, causing the lips to turn blue. I went to the hospital for a follow-up visit and described the baby's condition in detail to the doctor, but the doctor said it was just because the baby ate too much, leading to indigestion. However, we don't think the baby's condition is like that. Here, I seek advice from experts—could my baby have something else going on? Additionally, the baby's jaundice has not fully subsided yet. Do you have any solutions? What are the potential adverse effects? Spitting up is more common after feeding, but the large amount of milk spraying from the mouth and nose occurs after changing the diaper for a while. What assistance is needed: Please provide accurate and timely answers, thank you!

Doctor's answer:

8 days after the full moon, there were five or six relatively severe cases of spitting up milk again. The specific symptoms were milk spraying from the mouth and nose, accompanied by difficulty breathing and bluish lips due to suffocation.
Advice: This situation is likely physiological in nature, as the baby's stomach is horizontal, and the pyloric sphincter is not yet fully developed. This can easily lead to stomach expansion after feeding. It is recommended to keep the baby's head as high as possible when changing diapers and to gently pat their back after feeding to help expel air. Regarding the jaundice that has not fully subsided, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and then receive symptomatic treatment.
