Patient's question:
My child has been drinking milk since infancy and always ends up spitting it out, then crying loudly. Is it possible that they have some kind of illness?Doctor's answer:
Newborns spitting up is a normal physiological phenomenon for most babies, and this phenomenon will gradually disappear as the baby grows. When babies are around six months old and start adding relatively thicker supplementary foods, the amount of spitting up will decrease. Holding the baby and gently patting his back after each feeding can also prevent him from spitting up, or avoid overfeeding. Most babies spit up everywhere, which is mainly related to the underdevelopment of gastrointestinal function. Generally, it can be improved and disappear after birth six months. However, some babies suddenly spit up, mainly due to colds and intestinal infections. Secondly, babies who eat too fast and drink too much milk can also cause vomiting.
