Patient's question:
Doctor, around 50 days after my nephew was born, when I came home, I heard his mother say that he hasn't been feeling well recently. He looks like he's not growing, keeps spitting up food, and keeps crying. Doctor, what should I do if a 50-day-old baby has a hernia and spits up a lot?Doctor's answer:
There is little relationship between hernia and vomiting milk. It is recommended not to worry. If a thorough check of other parts of the body shows no health issues, and vomiting milk occurs again, it is more likely caused by improper breastfeeding posture. It is advised that parents should not feed the baby too quickly and can use intermittent diaper changes. If vomiting milk occurs again, it is crucial to promptly lower the baby's body to prevent aspiration. Additionally, it could also be due to indigestion, pyloric spasm, or constipation in infants, which may also cause vomiting. It is necessary to seek follow-up medical attention promptly.
