Question
How should I treat a four-month-old baby who frequently vomits milk?
Answer
Vomiting in a four-month-old baby is often a common occurrence due to an underdeveloped esophageal sphincter, and parents should not worry excessively. When feeding, it’s advisable to maintain the correct posture, and gently patting the baby’s back after feeding can help expel stomach gas and reduce the occurrence of vomiting. Additionally, avoid overfeeding during each feeding session; moderate amounts are sufficient. If the condition continues or worsens, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. Maintaining the baby’s hygiene and ensuring a reasonable diet are also important factors in preventing and improving vomiting.
