Question
My baby is 18 months old and tends to vomit easily when eating solid foods, and sometimes even when drinking milk. Is this a psychological or physiological reason? Why does the baby sometimes hold food in their mouth without swallowing?
Answer
Baby vomiting may be due to physiological digestive issues or psychological discomfort during feeding. It is advisable to observe the baby’s eating habits, check if the food is too greasy or hard, and consider the baby’s mood during meals. If the baby holds food in their mouth without swallowing, it might be due to oral sensitivity or low appetite for eating. You can try changing the texture or taste of the food, or distract the baby to encourage eating. Additionally, avoid forcing feeding or scolding the baby to prevent increasing their eating stress.
