Question
A one-month-old baby occasionally experiences rapid breathing, vomiting, vomiting with phlegm, appearing with a curd-like consistency, and sometimes feeling a foreign object in the throat, dry heaves, and making sounds during sleep. How should one handle the situation of vomiting?
Answer
After birth, it is important to provide careful attention and feeding to the baby and to promptly check for any abnormalities. In fact, it is common for infants of a young age to vomit, which is a normal phenomenon due to their underdeveloped gastrointestinal function. After feeding, it is necessary to allow the baby to rest for a while. After feeding, the baby should sleep on their side, avoiding lying flat. Vomiting in infants is a normal occurrence and does not require excessive worry. Simply gently pat the baby’s back after feeding to help them burp.
