What should I do if my baby spits up milk?

Patient's question:

My daughter is four and a half months old. This morning I noticed she keeps vomiting, sometimes dry heaving, sometimes spitting up milk. Experts, please tell me what's wrong? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Nursing is a common issue that many babies encounter during their growth process, and the smaller the baby, the more likely they are to experience it. Nursing can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. Today, we will share with you the methods for dealing with physiological nursing.
Once a baby is three months old, they can start being held upright. For babies in this age group, the burping method can effectively prevent nursing. After feeding, mothers can hold the baby upright, with the baby's head resting on your shoulder, and gently pat their back. Once the baby burps, keep them in this position for a while before putting them down. Burping indicates that the air in the baby's stomach has been released, and if they are laid down afterward, the nursing will become much lighter or even stop.
