Patient's question:
Recently, I just had a baby, but my aunt said that recently the baby doesn't like to eat milk very much, and every time there is vomiting, and then there will be burping, etc. So I want to ask what is the matter with the baby burping and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Small babies often regurgitate and spit up milk mainly because they swallow air while feeding. When air enters the stomach, it is lighter than liquid and tends to rise, making it easier to open the cardiac sphincter and escape. This can also carry some milk out, causing spitting up. Therefore, when feeding, ensure the baby's mouth fully covers the nipple without any gaps to prevent air from sneaking in. It is recommended to have regular health check-ups to detect any abnormalities early and receive timely treatment.
