Patient's question:
How to care for and diagnose vomiting in newborns? My two-month-old baby has recently developed a new problem—he always vomits a few mouthfuls after feeding. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Hello. If the baby lies down immediately after feeding, milk may flow out of the mouth, and they may even vomit all the milk they just ate. This is known as milk reflux. Key care points include:1. Immediately remove the milk from the baby's mouth and nose;
2. Turn the baby's body over again, face down, and gently pat their back to effectively cough out the milk from the nose, mouth, trachea, and lungs;
3. Let the baby cry loudly. The act of crying involves large amounts of inhalation and exhalation, which can help test whether the airway is clear and can also be used to clear foreign objects from the airway.
