Question

After feeding, even after gently patting the baby’s back and helping them burp, the baby still spits up in large amounts. Previous treatment situations and effects include heat and indigestion. Assistance in treatment methods is sought.

Answer

Newborns are prone to spitting up due to their underdeveloped stomachs and throats. Handling methods include not feeding the baby too quickly, holding the baby upright after feeding to burp, for about two to three minutes each time. If the baby’s burp cannot be easily released, you can try again to burp the baby ten to twenty minutes after feeding. This can help reduce or stop spitting up and usually yields better results.
