Patient's question:
My baby spits up a lot after eating. Spitting up in infants is a sign that they are full. What should I pay attention to in daily life?Doctor's answer:
Full, the baby's stomach capacity is small, and the lower esophageal sphincter has not fully developed. If the baby drinks milk and then lies down immediately, the milk may flow out of the mouth or even vomit all the milk just consumed. The drug refers to this as a normal physiological phenomenon. It is important to immediately clear the milk from the baby's mouth and nose, turn the baby's body over, and gently pat the baby's back. This allows the milk in the nose, mouth, trachea, and lungs to be effectively coughed out, preventing aspiration. At the same time, small, frequent feedings should be used for breastfeeding, and the amount of breast milk should not be too large at one time.
