Question
Newborns are experiencing milk spitting up after feeding, and recently, there has been a observation of lumpy substances in the spit-up. How should this situation be understood?
Answer
If a newborn spits up milk containing lumps, it may be a sign of dyspepsia. It is recommended to avoid giving too much milk at once during feeding to reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and prevent dyspepsia. At the same time, consider giving the baby probiotics to regulate the intestines, and adopt a feeding method of small meals more frequently. Additionally, you can perform clockwise massage on the baby’s abdomen to enhance gastrointestinal motility and promote digestion.
