Question
My baby is two months old and has suddenly started vomiting a lot, has lost appetite, and sleeps about 20 hours a day. There is no fever and the stool is normal, once a day. Should this be okay?
Answer
Baby vomiting is caused by an underdeveloped digestive system, with the stomach being in a flat position, making it more susceptible to vomiting. It is recommended to keep the baby in an upright position after feeding and gently pat the back to help burp, which can reduce the occurrence of vomiting. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is gastroesophageal reflux disease.
