Question
How to treat frequent spitting up in infants? They eat less, their stools are more green, and they seem to be better after taking medicine, but they have lost weight and reduced appetite. The onset date was November 28, 2009, and the computer said it might be due to stomach problems, possibly caused by bananas. I have bought many medicines and a lot of calcium supplements, $100 per bottle, which have shown good results, and the medication can be taken for 7 days. I hope to get suggestions that do not require medication to improve, such as what fruits or calcium supplements to eat.
Answer
Frequent spitting up in infants may be due to physiological reflux. The pylorus of a baby’s stomach is not fully developed yet. Excessive movement or coughing after feeding can cause spitting up. It is recommended not to overfeed at each feeding and to hold the baby upright after feeding to pat their back and help expel air swallowed during feeding. The movements of holding up and putting down the baby should be gentle to reduce vigorous shaking.
