Doctor's answer:

Hello: To prevent infant spitting up, attention should be paid when feeding:
(1)Do not feed the baby when it is crying.
(2)When feeding with a bottle, the nipple must be fully filled with milk, and the hole should not be too large.
(3)After feeding, hold the baby upright, with its head resting on an adult’s shoulder, and gently pat its back to help expel air from the stomach. Then gently lay the baby on its side. This can reduce spitting up.

After the baby burps, let it lie on its right side. This way, even if it spits up again, the milk will not be inhaled through the nose, preventing pneumonia or even suffocation. However, it is important to prevent milk from flowing into the ear canal, which could cause otitis media. Therefore, observe the baby regularly. If milk is spit up, clean it up promptly. If the baby frequently spits up, it can be
