Question
The baby often vomits, even after a long time of eating, and sometimes milk comes out of both the nose and mouth. They always need to be held upright; if they are held lying down, they cry. What could be the reason?
Answer
The baby’s frequent vomiting could be due to physiological reasons or air intake during feeding. If the baby continues to vomit after a long period, and sometimes milk comes out of both the nose and mouth together, it might be because the baby feels uncomfortable when lying down as they cannot see the surroundings. It is recommended to hold the baby upright after feeding, gently patting their back to help them burp out the air they’ve inhaled. Additionally, make sure the nipple is fully filled with milk during feeding to reduce the chance of air intake."
