Question
My baby is two months old and spits up while feeding. How should I deal with a two-month-old baby’s spitting up in a jet-like manner? What should I pay attention to in everyday care?
Answer
Two months after birth, a baby may expel milk in the form of a mist, which may be related to coldness, poor gastrointestinal function, or other factors. You can give the baby probiotics, lactobacillus tablets, and other medications for treatment, and apply more abdominal heat to the baby. It is important to keep the abdomen warm. You should take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital. If there are coughing symptoms, it may be due to cough stimulating the throat leading to vomiting; if fever persists without subsiding, it may also be related to brain problems. Relevant examinations should be improved, and active treatment should be carried out after diagnosis. Note that when vomiting occurs, the baby should be held upright and gently pat on the back to prevent aspiration-induced coughing.
