Question
Ask: My baby is 93 days old, and she has been having severe milk spitting recently. What should I do, and are there any dietary adjustments?
Answer
A baby’s digestive system is not yet fully developed and often experiences milk spitting. Generally, milk spitting can be categorized into physiological and pathological types. If it’s physiological, you need not worry too much. However, if it’s pathological, you should seek medical attention promptly. After feeding the baby, hold the baby upright, lean against your shoulder, and pat the baby’s back to help the baby burp and release air. This should be done for about 5 minutes. This is the best way to prevent milk spitting in babies.
