Question
The newborn did not spit up within the first 30 days after birth, but started spitting up after switching to formula milk during blue light therapy. What is the cause and how to solve it?
Answer
Baby spitting up may be due to an increase in milk intake too quickly, resulting in limited stomach capacity and relaxed stomach muscles. This is usually a physiological phenomenon that lasts for a few months. If accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal pain or vomiting, it may require examination of the digestive system. It is recommended to give the baby abdominal massage, administer probiotics, and burp the baby after feeding to reduce the occurrence of spitting up.
