Question
A newborn is about 20 days old and has been vomiting frequently recently. After lying down, the baby feels uncomfortable, cries, and vomits. Initially, the amount of vomit was small, but now it is increasing.
Answer
Baby vomiting may be caused by a rapid change in position. It is more common in infants under 6 months old. Suggestions: After feeding the baby, do not lie down immediately; hold the baby for a while to avoid flipping the baby’s position too quickly. This allows the gas in the stomach to gradually escape, reducing vomiting. Gently patting the baby’s back helps break up large gas bubbles into smaller ones, which can prevent vomiting. Wishing the baby a healthy growth. If you have any questions, feel free to consult further.
