Patient's question:
After feeding the baby, I noticed that my baby always spits up. The children in the same room didn't have this problem. The doctor said it's a normal occurrence for newborns to spit up. What are the common causes of vomiting in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Newborn vomiting is indeed a relatively common phenomenon, mainly because their stomach has not fully developed yet. If they swallow too quickly during feeding or suck too frequently, it can lead to vomiting. You can gently burp the baby after feeding to effectively alleviate the symptoms of vomiting. Feed the baby on demand and avoid overfeeding, which can cause vomiting. If vomiting occurs, it should be immediately addressed to prevent choking.
