Patient's question:
My daughter is just one month old. Recently, she always spits up after drinking milk. What is the reason for a one-month-old baby spitting up?Doctor's answer:
When a one-month-old baby vomits after drinking milk, parents do not need to worry too much. Coughing up phlegm or spilling is a common phenomenon in newborns and infants. In most cases, spitting up phlegm is physiological. Severe spitting up may indicate digestive dysfunction or gastrointestinal obstruction. Spitting up is usually common in small infants. There are two types of spitting up: physiological or non-organic spitting up. If eating too quickly, swallowing air, or maintaining an upright posture, the milk does not mix with the stomach, vomiting milk may cause gastrointestinal allergies.
