Patient's question:
Hello everyone, I am 22 years old this year. My baby is only 40 days old. She is in good health since birth, but recently she has been spitting up milk for some reason. She also likes to strain, and whenever she strains, the milk she just drank comes out. I don’t know what the reason is. Could there be a health problem? I am very worried.Doctor's answer:
Milk naturally flows from the stomach into the small intestine, which reduces the chance of vomiting compared to feeding while lying down.2. After feeding, it is essential to burp the baby: Hold the baby upright against your shoulder, gently pat their back to allow them to burp and expel the air swallowed while drinking milk. Then place the baby back in bed, which helps prevent vomiting.
3. Avoid letting the baby lie flat immediately after feeding. Instead, keep them in a side-lying position for a while before turning them over to lie flat.
4. Do not overfeed or feed too frequently. If vomiting persists even after adjusting feeding methods, it is necessary to seek medical examination for specific evaluation.
