Patient's question:
My child is about to turn one year old. Sometimes they still spit up milk. At other times, even after eating well for over 20 minutes, they still spit up, and I don't know the reason. Is it because they ate too much, or is it due to a physical reason?Doctor's answer:
Actually, it's quite normal for babies to spit up milk. After feeding him, simply don't hold him sideways; instead, gently rest him against your shoulder and slowly, lightly pat his back. After about half an hour, you can let him sleep or hold him sideways.There are many reasons why babies spit up or leak milk. If the spitting up or leakage is mild, no special treatment is needed—just be patient and burp the baby. However, if the spitting up becomes severe, with forceful, projectile vomiting, you must take the baby to the hospital for a checkup. Once the cause is confirmed, proper treatment can be administered.
