Question
My baby has been experiencing vomiting recently. I would like to know the common causes and treatment methods for baby vomiting?
Answer
Baby vomiting usually occurs due to swallowing air while eating too quickly or too much. Since a baby’s digestive system and functions are not fully developed, their stomach capacity is small and positioned flatly, making it easy for them to vomit after feeding. To reduce the amount of vomiting and promote digestion and absorption, gently lift the baby after feeding and pat their back to expel air from the stomach. If indigestion causes the vomit to have a sour and smelly taste, you can give the baby probiotics and other digestive medications orally.
