Patient's question:
Hello doctor, what should I do if the newborn baby doesn't eat much after vomiting?Doctor's answer:
A 45-day-old newborn vomited twice last night after spitting up milk, and has been eating less since. The baby either has a cold or some indigestion. You can gently rub the baby's abdomen in a clockwise direction with warm hands to promote intestinal movement, keep the abdomen warm, and give the baby some warm water to reduce vomiting. Do not overfeed. If there is no fever, no crying, normal urine output, and normal bowel movements, you can apply a warm compress to the abdomen and wait and see. If there is no improvement, you should take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
