Question
A 3-month-old baby vomits approximately half an hour after each formula feeding, and the frequency is relatively high. What could be the reason? Besides, the baby’s stools are green, and they have a bowel movement one to two times a day. Please, doctor, take a look at this.
Answer
Based on the situation you described, the baby’s frequent spitting up is often due to adults shaking the baby after feeding. Since the baby is small, their stomach is in a horizontal position, eating too much, and being shaken can lead to more spitting up. I suggest feeding the baby about 70-80% full. Additionally, after the baby finishes feeding, hold them upright and gently pat their back with an open palm. Avoid shaking the baby. These are my suggestions for the question “Why does a 3-month-old baby vomit after each formula feeding?” I hope this helps and wish you health!
