Question
Doctor, I’ve been feeling very confused lately. My baby’s issue has been keeping me up at night. Every time I finish feeding, the baby spits up all over. I’m worried that the baby won’t be getting enough to eat. What could be causing my baby to spit up milk?
Answer
According to your description, this situation is likely due to improper feeding posture and post-feeding handling. It is recommended to slightly lift the baby’s head while breastfeeding. After feeding, place the baby on your shoulder and gently pat the back to help the baby burp. This can effectively prevent the baby from spitting up. If the infant still spits up milk afterward, it may be due to indigestion. It is best to give the baby some lactase or probiotics. Alternatively, you can take the baby to the hospital for a check-up.
