How to deal with severe spitting up in a 40-day-old baby?

Patient's question:

The child has been experiencing severe vomiting for a week, sometimes like a fountain, and has been vomiting bubbles recently, which are very sticky, forming strings one after another. An ultrasound showed no problems, and an X-ray revealed air in the intestines.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, the baby spits up milk sometimes like a fountain. It is considered to be caused by indigestion. Since the baby is small and the digestive system is not yet developed, it is easy to cause spitting up. It is recommended that you gently pat the baby's back after feeding, and then feed milk. You can take probiotics to regulate the gut flora. The above is the advice for "What should I do if a 40-day-old baby spits up severely?" I hope it helps you, and wish you health!
