Question
My baby vomits large amounts of milk after breastfeeding, and cries if not fed. It has vomited a lot of milk but still seems hungry, and wants to breastfeed every hour while awake. I am exclusively breastfeeding. In the past, this happened when the baby was 1 month old, and the doctor said it was normal spit-up, but it’s not just overflow; it’s vomiting in large amounts, and occasionally it’s even projectile vomiting. What help do I want: What causes it? Is it due to undeveloped gastrointestinal function or something else? What should I do and what should I pay attention to?
Answer
The most common cause of baby vomiting is gastroesophageal reflux disease, which is directly related to the shallowness of the baby’s stomach. 1. You can consider giving domperidone suspension orally to help regulate the baby’s condition. After each successful breastfeeding session, you should hold the baby upright for a while. 2. If repeated vomiting occurs along with difficulty passing stool or abdominal pain, it’s also necessary to rule out obstructive diseases. Wish you a speedy recovery.
