How to deal with severe spitting up in a 20-day-old baby?

Patient's question:

I just had a baby 20 days ago. I don't know why, but the baby always spits up when feeding. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

If a child spits up severely, the mother will be worried. What should I do? First, correct the feeding posture. When a mother feeds a baby, try to avoid letting them lie down to suck milk. Second, burp after feeding. Third, pay attention to the amount of care. Fourth, take good care of the baby's stomach. Sometimes, infants spit up milk because their stomach is cold. Fifth, the mother should learn to express milk. Sometimes breast milk is very abundant and may even drip out on its own. At this time, the baby may easily choke or spit out milk while sucking.
