Question
I just had a baby 20 days ago, and for some reason, whenever I feed the baby, it keeps on spitting up milk. What should I do?
Answer
If a baby vomits milk severely, parents may feel worried. First, correct the feeding posture and try to avoid having the baby lie down while feeding. Second, burp the baby after feeding. Third, be mindful of the feeding quantity. Fourth, take good care of the baby’s stomach, as sometimes vomiting is due to stomach coldness. Fifth, mothers should learn to express milk, as sometimes breast milk is so abundant that it can even drip out by itself. At this point, the baby can easily choke or vomit while suckling the milk.
