Question
Why does a child sometimes spit out a lot of milk?
Answer
It is normal for newborns to occasionally vomit in the first few months after birth, often related to their underdeveloped digestive systems. However, if a child repeatedly vomits multiple times, after each feeding, and is accompanied by symptoms such as fever, abnormal bowel movements, or changes in mental state, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a check-up to determine if there are gastrointestinal issues or inflammation in other systems. In addition, some measures can be taken to reduce the frequency of vomiting in children, such as gently patting the child’s back after each feeding to help expel excess air from the stomach, and ensuring the child is fed in the correct position.
