Patient's question:
The baby is exclusively breastfed and is 68 days old. In the past few days, they have been vomiting once a day (thick liquid with white curds in the middle) and passing smelly gas and foul stools. They have been having one to two bowel movements a day, which are yellow and thick liquid with something like egg white.Doctor's answer:
The Causes and Treatment Methods of Infant Spitting Up First, it is important to determine whether the baby is spitting up or refluxing, as these terms have different meanings and the causes and treatment methods are also different. Spitting up involves a larger amount of milk and can occur shortly after feeding or about half an hour later. The child may show expressions of opening their mouth, stretching their neck, and appearing uncomfortable before spitting up. Reflux, on the other hand, involves a smaller amount of milk and usually happens right after feeding. It typically stops after spitting out one or two mouthfuls.
