Question

The child has a rumbling stomach while breastfeeding and vomits a large amount of milk each time. The child hasn’t been taking naps during the day for two days. Previous treatment and effectiveness: No. Desired assistance: Urgently need an answer to the problem.

Answer

For a child who vomits a small amount of milk shortly after breastfeeding, it is generally a normal phenomenon, with normal appetite and no crying after vomiting, nor any other symptoms. This is commonly referred to as “spitting up.” Vomiting may occur several times a day, gradually becoming more frequent and expanding to Jet-like vomiting. About half an hour after a bowel movement, severe dry heaves may occur again, with the amount of vomit sometimes exceeding the intake. The vomit does not contain bile, and the appetite remains normal after vomiting. If the child gradually becomes thinner due to persistent dry heaves, it may be congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. Please distinguish.
