Question
A newborn experienced vomiting on the sixth day after birth, following feeding with milk or water, and the vomit has a color similar to egg yolk. How should this situation be explained?
Answer
According to the description, this may be due to milk reflux, which is related to the incomplete development of the baby’s stomach and digestive abilities. After feeding, it is recommended to hold the baby upright to promote burping, which can help reduce vomiting. The mother should also be aware of her own diet, avoiding greasy foods, not overfeeding the baby, and can take probiotics to regulate the baby’s digestive system.
