Question
My baby is 8 months old, and for the past three or four days, I’ve noticed that he has been swallowing his own regurgitated food. He has a bit of a dry cough, but his bowel movements are normal. Could it be that I’ve given him too much baby food, and I’m overfeeding him?
Answer
Is the baby currently on a mixed feeding diet? Ensure that the supply of complementary foods is adequate and gradually increased. Currently, you can give your child an oral pediatric tablet of 20 pills at a time, taken on an empty stomach in the morning.
