Question
My daughter is 88 days old and has severe vomiting after mixed feeding. She vomits out 30-40ml each time after being fed 80ml. There is a phenomenon of regurgitation. The hospital has ruled out pyloric stenosis. What could be the possible causes? How should I take care of the child?
Answer
Baby vomiting may involve gastroesophageal reflux, so it’s important to reduce the amount of milk per feeding and slightly elevate the baby’s head. Pay attention to whether the baby has other surgical conditions, such as hypertrophy of the pylorus or pyloric spasm, especially when there is projectile vomiting, and further examination should be conducted. The most common cause is indigestion, which can be treated with auxiliary therapy.
