Patient's question:
My baby has been born for 28 days. In the past five days, there have been one or two instances of spitting up milk. Sometimes, even after waking up from a full sleep, a little milk is also spit up. Why is this happening? Under what circumstances does the baby spit up milk? How can this situation be avoided? Additionally, my baby burps once a day, and the burping is both long and loud. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The digestive system of children is not yet fully developed. Their stomachs are small and flat. The cardia is. If feeding is improper, swallowing large amounts of air can cause breast vomiting or leakage. During feeding, the baby should be seated in a semi-reclined position, allowing the baby to place the nipple and areola together in their mouth; the flow of milk should not be too fast. It should also not be intermittent or sucked empty. After feeding, the baby should sit upright, with their head resting on the mother's shoulder and patting their back to expel air from their stomach. If the child makes a burping sound, they will not vomit. It is common for children to vomit milk. There is no need to worry too much. The digestive system of children is not yet mature, making them prone to indigestion and vomiting. You can give them a little {Children's Digestive Water} to help them digest food and prevent milk from being vomited. {Children's Digestive Water} is a commonly used medication for children.
