Patient's question:
Recently, I just had a baby, but my aunt said that recently the baby doesn't like to eat milk very much, and every time there is vomiting, and then there will be burping, etc. So I want to ask, what is the matter with the baby burping and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Small babies often burp and spit up milk because they swallow air while feeding. When air enters the stomach, it rises to the top due to being lighter than liquid and can easily open the cardiac sphincter, causing milk to be expelled along with it, leading to spitting up. Therefore, when feeding, make sure the baby's mouth covers the entire nipple tightly, leaving no gaps to prevent air from sneaking in. It is recommended to have regular health check-ups to detect any abnormalities early and seek timely treatment.
