Question
Lately, the baby has been vomiting frequently, sometimes in a jet-like , and I want to know what’s causing it and how to deal with it?
Answer
Generally speaking, newborn baby vomiting may be due to overfeeding or trapped gas in the stomach. It is recommended to hold the baby upright after feeding and gently pat the back to expel the gas in the stomach, reducing the likelihood of vomiting. Additionally, when the baby is lying down, the head should be slightly elevated, or the baby should be held upright, to reduce discomfort after vomiting. After vomiting, the baby’s face may look unwell, but as long as it returns to normal later on, there is no major concern. Moreover, appropriate fluid intake can be supplemented according to the situation.
