Question

My baby is already one and a half months old. After feeding, there is always a whistling sound in her throat. What is the reason for this?

Answer

Based on your description, it’s normal for a baby to spit up. This may be due to the baby’s incomplete development of stomach function and weak lower esophageal sphincter muscles, causing food in the stomach to easily reflux. Additionally, the baby’s stomach is usually in a horizontal position at birth, which also increases the risk of spitting up. For this situation, here are some suggestions:

  1. Feed the baby appropriately, avoiding overfeeding.
  2. After feeding, place the baby on her left side to reduce the occurrence of spitting up. If you have any other questions or concerns, it is recommended to consult a doctor for more detailed advice and assistance.
