Patient's question:
Recently, after the child finishes drinking formula milk, they vomit, and a lot of it. Once, almost everything they drank came back up. The child also doesn't seem very energetic, looking listless. They haven't been given anything else besides formula milk in between. I'm wondering what to do if a baby vomits so heavily?Doctor's answer:
Hello friend, newborns spit up because their stomach valves are not yet mature, especially those who drink formula. Therefore, special attention should be paid to care. When feeding, gently touch the back of the head and face, try to keep the baby awake while eating, as sleeping can lead to suffocation. After feeding, hold the baby upright and gently pat their back, try to have the baby sleep on their side. The spitting up phenomenon will gradually improve as the baby grows.
