Question
Can newborn abdominal cramps cause vomiting?
Answer
Abdominal cramps are a common issue in infants and usually improve as they grow. Since an infant’s digestive system is not fully developed, abdominal cramps may lead to vomiting. However, vomiting is also a normal phenomenon in infants due to their shorter esophagus. To reduce the occurrence of vomiting, it is recommended to feed the baby in small, frequent amounts and pay attention to the quantity and method of feeding. Additionally, keeping the baby warm and avoiding overfeeding can also help reduce the occurrence of vomiting. If the problem persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor’s advice.
