Question
The baby’s stomach is bloated on the 19th day after birth. Around the 15th day after birth, there is a phenomenon of spitting up, sometimes with milk coming out of the nose. After changing clothes, the baby’s stomach looks bloated, and there is concern whether it is gas. The stool is golden yellow with a little green, and it is loose and watery.
Answer
Newborns have an incomplete stomach position and their digestive system is still developing, so spitting up and vomiting are common occurrences. After feeding, it’s important to burp the baby and avoid overfeeding. A bloated stomach could be due to gas. If the baby has gastrointestinal discomfort, they usually express it through crying. Stool that is golden yellow with a touch of green and loose and watery may indicate indigestion, and you might consider giving the baby some digestive medication for adjustment.
