Question
Why does my baby often cough up milk after feeding, and what should I do?
Answer
There can be several reasons for a baby to cough up milk after feeding. If the nipple hole is too small, the baby has to suck harder, which might lead to air and milk being Inhalation together, causing vomiting. If the issue is with the nipple, you can try changing to a new one. Additionally, since a baby’s digestive system is not fully developed, the esophagus is shorter and the connection between the esophagus and stomach cannot close completely, which is also a common reason for vomiting. When feeding, avoid keeping the baby too flat, and after feeding, gently pat the baby’s back to help them burp, which can help expel the swallowed air and reduce the occurrence of vomiting.
