Question

What should I do if my newborn keeps vomiting after feeding?

Answer

Baby milk overflow is a normal occurrence, and mothers don’t need to worry too much. With proper precautions, the issue of milk overflow or vomiting can be handled correctly by parents. For instance, when breastfeeding, it’s important to hold the baby at an angle, not lying down to feed; if using a bottle, the teat hole should be appropriately sized, and the milk should not be too hot or too cold, and definitely not to be inhaled with air; after feeding, avoid flipping the baby over, instead, let the baby lean against an adult’s body, gently patting the back to allow the air swallowed into the stomach to be released.
