Question
How should one treat a baby’s vomiting? Could it be related to insufficient breast milk and the addition of formula milk in the past two days?
Answer
Some children are born with the problem of vomiting, and they still often vomit by the second month. Some vomit immediately after feeding, while others vomit about 20 minutes after feeding. What’s going on here? It turns out that the human stomach has two openings, the upper one called the lower esophageal sphincter and the lower one called the pylorus. The lower esophageal sphincter is more relaxed in development, while the pylorus is prone to spasms. The vomit from the baby is tofu brain-like in consistency, which is the result of milk protein forming lumps under the action of the stomach.
