Question
After feeding, newborns often vomit a while later, with the vomit resembling phlegm, thick and sticky. This has been happening since birth. Please explain the cause and whether treatment is needed.
Answer
Vomiting in newborns is a common occurrence, often referred to as “spitting up,” where the baby regurgitates some milk after eating. Newborns need to adapt to their new environment, which can lead to the “milk overflow” phenomenon. No special treatment is required; you can consult a doctor at the hospital. Lastly, wishing you and your baby good health and happiness!
