Question
A one-year-old baby occasionally experiences vomiting, sometimes even 20 minutes after eating. This might be due to overeating or other physical factors. Should this situation be given special attention?
Answer
Vomiting in infants is somewhat normal. It is recommended to gently hold the baby against your shoulder after each feeding, pat their back, and wait for half an hour before letting them lie down or hold them horizontally. The causes of vomiting or regurgitation are varied. If the situation is mild, it usually does not require special treatment; just be patient and help the baby burp. However, if the vomiting is severe and jet-like , it is advisable to take the baby to the doctor for appropriate diagnosis and treatment after confirming the cause.
