Question
The baby is five months old and has been breastfed until now. However, recently, it seems that the milk supply is insufficient, so considering adding formula milk. But the baby has a problem of acid reflux and spitting up milk, with the milk coming out in a curd-like substance. I’m worried whether this situation is normal and if it will affect the baby.
Answer
Based on the information you provided and observations of the baby, there are currently no signs of any problems. It is recommended to pat the baby’s back after breastfeeding or giving formula milk to make them burp, then have the baby sleep on their back in a head-high, feet-low position. These are suggestions for the question ‘Is it normal for a five-month-old baby to always burp up milk with curd-like lumps?’ I hope this helps you, and wish you and your baby health!
