Question
After 14 days of birth, the newborn has intermittent vomiting for a week. Usually, the baby does not sleep before vomiting, and seems very comfortable after vomiting, falling asleep quickly, or wanting to breastfeed again. Bowel movements are normal, and there are occasional sneezes. Ask for the possible causes of this situation.
Answer
This condition may not be abnormal and is often due to the baby drinking milk too quickly or the mother feeding too quickly. It is recommended to maintain a stable posture after feeding, feed in small amounts multiple times, and remember to gently pat the baby’s back after feeding to expel air bubbles. If vomiting occurs frequently, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a check-up.
