Question

A 20-day-old infant experienced crying and vomiting after consuming what appeared to be slightly sour thawed breast milk. The baby had consumed the same thawed breast milk the previous night without any discomfort. The parent is worried about whether they need to seek medical attention or administer medication to the baby.

Answer

The way the parent stores breast milk at room temperature may lead to spoilage, and it is recommended to feed the baby breast milk directly in the future to avoid similar situations. The baby experienced gastrointestinal discomfort after consuming some spoiled breast milk, but there is currently no need for immediate medical attention or medication. More attention should be paid when thawing breast milk to prevent the baby from experiencing discomfort again.
