Patient's question:
In the past two days, the baby has been vomiting frequently. I don't know why, because I might have eaten something I shouldn't have while breastfeeding. If the child vomits, is it because of spicy food? What should a mother pay attention to in her diet when the baby vomits?Doctor's answer:
Infants' small intestines are relatively fragile and have weaker functionality, which can lead to digestive disorders. It is recommended that when breastfeeding, the diet should be light yet nutritious. Breastfeeding mothers should maintain a well-balanced diet. Chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits, and vegetables can be consumed freely, but attention should be paid to the cooking methods of the food. At this time, mothers must consider the baby's needs during feeding, such as avoiding spicy foods, undercooked foods, or preserved foods and drinks. It is best to minimize or avoid dry, hot foods like garlic, chives, and fennel. These foods are prone to causing inflammation in the mother's body, which can then affect the infant.
