Question
Why does my baby often vomit? Sometimes I need to use two handkerchiefs to clean it up. It happens every day. What should I do? My baby is breastfed, and in addition to eczema, what kind of help does she need? Are there any methods to solve this problem?
Answer
Newborn vomiting is a common symptom, related to the physiological characteristics of newborns. Usually, vomiting is caused by the baby swallowing too much air during feeding. To prevent and reduce vomiting, the correct feeding posture should be adopted, avoid feeding the baby immediately after crying, and gently pat the baby’s back after feeding to help expel air from the stomach. For infants prone to vomiting, it is recommended to sleep in a slightly elevated head position and on the right side.
