Question
My baby has a habit of throwing up. Usually, it’s not much. But yesterday, it started to throw up more after breastfeeding. The baby doesn’t want to move; it throws up when it does. The stool is yellow with greenish hues. Could it be because of the cold weather these days? The forehead isn’t hot.
Answer
The primary reason for this child’s vomiting is likely overfeeding or eating too fast. Try not to let the baby eat too much at one time and consider increasing the frequency of feedings. After changing the diaper, avoid letting the baby cry or struggle; instead, hold the baby upright and pat its back to burp out the stomach gas, which can increase the likelihood of vomiting. With the cooler weather, children’s gastrointestinal movements and absorption functions are easily disturbed, so consider applying a cold compress to the baby’s abdomen.
