Why Does the Milk a Baby Spits Out Look Like Tofu?

Question

Why does the milk a baby spits out look like tofu? How can it be prevented?

Answer

The milk turns into a tofu-like consistency because it stays in the stomach for a while and gets digested by stomach acid, resulting in the baby spitting it out as tofu. To prevent this, remember to burp the baby after feeding and avoid putting the baby to sleep right away.
