Question
A six-month-old male infant experienced crying and spitting up milk while feeding due to excessive hunger. Afterward, the baby showed a desire to eat again. How should the parents handle this situation? Should they continue breastfeeding?
Answer
Dear parents, when your baby cries and spits up milk due to eating too quickly, which is often caused by rapid eating and the accumulation of gas in the stomach, rather than indigestion, it is usually appropriate to let the baby continue to eat. However, if nausea and vomiting are due to indigestion, it is recommended to temporarily stop breastfeeding. Please closely observe your baby’s reactions and seek professional medical advice if necessary.
