Question
A 2-month-old baby spit up milk last night, and they have been sleeping more today. Is this normal?
Answer
Babies have a different stomach structure than adults, and they are prone to spitting up milk when lying flat. If it happens only once occasionally and the baby is in good spirits with a normal body temperature, it may be a normal situation. It is recommended not to lay the baby down immediately after feeding and to adopt a side sleeping position to reduce the risk of spitting up. If you are worried, you can change the baby’s sleeping position after one hour. It is impossible to determine whether the baby is sick without treatment.
