Question
My baby is three months old, and she spits up milk shortly after feeding but then spits water one hour later. Is this normal?
Answer
This situation might be due to the baby being small and easily throwing up after eating. Spitting water one hour after breastfeeding could indicate discomfort or poor digestion. After an hour, the milk in the stomach is neutralized with stomach acid to form water, and what is being vomited may be this water. It is recommended to give the baby digestive medicine to adjust the intestinal function, extend the feeding time, and allow the baby to drink water between feedings.
