What should I do if the baby spits up after choking and needs to eat again?

Patient's question:

My son is about 6 months old. Today, after work, I came home to feed him, but he was too hungry and choked while drinking milk. Later, he even vomited. Suddenly, he started crying again, wanting to drink. Doctor, what should I do if he wants to eat after choking and vomiting? Should I feed him?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, this parent, after you come back from work, the baby is too hungry, which should be caused by eating too fast leading to nausea and vomiting. After experiencing nausea and vomiting, the baby can still continue to breastfeed. This is due to eating too quickly, causing gas in the stomach, leading to this phenomenon. It is not caused by indigestion. If the nausea and vomiting are caused by indigestion, then breastfeeding should be temporarily stopped.
