How to treat a 2-year-old baby who vomits after eating?

Answer

In dealing with a 2-year-old baby who vomits after eating, it is first important to determine if it is caused by indigestion. The following measures are suggested:

  1. Provide easy-to-digest and absorbable foods, avoiding overly greasy or irritating foods.
  2. Reduce the amount of food consumed each time and adopt a small meals frequently approach.
  3. Pay attention to the baby’s rest and warmth, avoiding overexertion and catching a cold.
  4. Maintain a cheerful mood and avoid negative emotional stimuli.
  5. Medication treatment may be necessary if required. Since there are many factors that can cause pediatric digestive diseases, if a diagnosis of a gastrointestinal disease is confirmed, immediate treatment should be coordinated with a doctor, including measures such as gastrointestinal decompression, and good hygiene habits should be cultivated. Parents should also pay attention to the baby’s balanced diet, avoiding picky eating and fussy eating habits.
