Question

How to Prevent Baby Vomiting?

Answer

Since a baby’s stomach is not fully developed and is horizontally positioned, it’s important to pay attention to the following points to prevent vomiting during feeding:

  1. Do not overfeed, as a baby’s stomach capacity is limited.
  2. Feed at a moderate pace to avoid the baby inhaling too much air.
  3. Adopt the correct feeding position; do not let the baby lie flat or on their stomach.
  4. Change the baby’s diaper before feeding to prevent moving the baby after feeding, which may trigger vomiting.
  5. Be mindful to avoid the baby inhaling too much air during feeding.
  6. After feeding, hold the baby upright and gently pat their back to help expel gases from the stomach. These methods can help reduce the frequency of baby vomiting. If the baby still frequently vomits, it is recommended to consult a doctor to rule out other potential health issues.
