Patient's question:
My baby was born not long ago, and it's been about a week now. In the past few days, after feeding the baby, it has been vomiting frequently. I'm very worried. What should I do about newborn vomiting?Doctor's answer:
Newborn vomiting is mainly physiological. It is related to the anatomical position of the stomach and dysfunction of the lower esophageal sphincter. After each feeding, use an upright clapping technique to pat the back until the baby burps before letting them fall asleep to prevent repeated vomiting. As the children grow older, the vomiting will improve. Without other symptoms, it is generally not a major issue. It is recommended to closely observe the child for any other discomforting symptoms, such as prolonged eye discharge or worsening symptoms, and take them to the hospital for a check-up.
