Patient's question:
The baby vomits after drinking formula milk even after burping for a while and lying down. Sometimes, the burping doesn't stop. First issue update: I found a solution. After drinking milk, don't rush to burp. Hold him a bit longer. Also, the milk shouldn't be cold; it needs to be warm when drinking!Doctor's answer:
After the baby finishes feeding, occasional hiccups are normal. However, if the baby hiccups frequently, especially after vomiting, it usually needs to be addressed. This may indicate that the baby has gastrointestinal dysfunction, most commonly indigestion. Alternatively, the hiccups could be caused by a cold in the abdomen. In this case, you can use a warm towel or a hot water bag to warm the baby's abdomen, which may relieve the hiccups if they are caused by a cold. Additionally, excessive crying and swallowing too much air before feeding can also lead to vomiting and hiccups, so it is essential to avoid vigorous crying before feeding.
