Question
My newborn baby is one month old, and she has spit up twice after feeding today. This hasn’t happened before, as she never spit up after burping. I’m worried she might be sick. What should I do?
Answer
Based on your description, occasional spitting up in newborns is normal. As long as the baby’s overall condition remains unchanged, there’s no need to worry excessively. I suggest you feed your baby breast milk regularly and gradually introduce complementary foods around four months old, encourage your baby to drink more water, and make sure to burp her thoroughly after each feeding. Also, observe your baby closely for any other symptoms. If your baby shows any other discomfort symptoms, it’s advisable to take her to the hospital for further examination. These are my suggestions for the question “What to do when a newborn baby spits up after feeding?” I hope this helps and wish your baby health!
