Question
Why does my baby keep vomiting milk?
Answer
Babies vomit milk because their stomachs have not fully developed, and their stomachs are flat, which makes it easy for food to reflux, leading to vomiting. If the baby eats too fast or in an incorrect feeding position, it also increases the risk of vomiting. To reduce the occurrence of vomiting, you can hold the baby upright after feeding and gently pat their back to help them burp. This can reduce the amount of air in the stomach, thereby decreasing the likelihood of vomiting. If you are concerned about your baby’s health, it is advisable to consult a doctor, especially if the vomiting is severe or accompanied by other symptoms, such as gastroesophageal reflux.
