What is the reason for vomiting water after feeding a baby for over an hour?

Patient's question:

My baby is three and a half months old. After feeding, she started spitting up milk, but after more than an hour, she was spitting up water. Is that normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, in this case, it might be because the baby is relatively small and tends to vomit after feeding and moving. If the baby vomits water after eating for over an hour, it indicates that the baby is uncomfortable or experiencing indigestion. After the milk enters the stomach for over an hour, it mixes with gastric juice and becomes watery, which might be the reason for the vomiting. You can give the baby digestive aid medication to regulate intestinal function, appropriately extend feeding time, and give water between two feedings.
