Patient's question:
Adults take Jianwei Xiaoshi Pian, can children drinking adults' milk help with indigestion? My child's stomach always makes gurgling sounds, and they also spit up milk. The baby is almost forty days old.Doctor's answer:
It will never be affected. The phenomenon of babies spitting up is quite common because newborns' stomachs are in a horizontal position, have a small capacity, and the cardiac sphincter connecting to the esophagus is relatively wide with poor locking effect. Newborns often swallow air while feeding, making it easy for milk to flow back into their mouths, leading to spitting up.After spitting up, don’t panic. Gently pat the baby to help them expel the milk from their throat. Spitting up is usually not a big problem, but if it happens suddenly and the mother doesn’t handle it promptly, it may cause the baby to cough. In severe cases, milk may enter the trachea, leading to breathing difficulties, which would be troublesome.
