Patient's question:
My daughter is 88 days old and being mixed-fed. Since the day before yesterday, she has been spitting up heavily after every meal. She eats 80ml, and can spray out 30-40ml. She had reflux after her full moon. Today, the hospital's ultrasound did not show any pyloric stenosis. What could be the reason? How should I take care of the baby? Thank you~Doctor's answer:
Baby is spitting up heavily. First, it's important to check if there's a possibility of gastroesophageal reflux. At this time, when feeding the baby, reduce the amount of milk and raise the baby's head by about 20 degrees, which can help alleviate gastroesophageal reflux. Additionally, it's necessary to pay attention to whether the baby has any surgical conditions, such as hypertrophic pyloric stenosis or pyloric spasm. Especially when the baby has projectile vomiting, it's essential to complete relevant examinations to clarify the cause.Moreover, the most common reason for baby spitting up is indigestion, which is a functional change. This can be managed with auxiliary treatment methods for the baby.
