Question

A three-month-old baby vomits after waking up. Is this a symptom of indigestion? How should it be treated?

Answer

Vomiting after waking up in a baby may be due to improper feeding methods. Parents can take the following measures to prevent vomiting:

  1. Hold the baby upright while feeding, keeping the body at an angle of about 45 degrees, which helps the contents of the stomach flow into the small intestine, reducing the chance of vomiting.
  2. After feeding, hold the baby upright and gently pat the back to help the baby burp and expel the air inhaled.
  3. After feeding, let the baby lie flat, and observe carefully to reduce the occurrence of vomiting. We hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby health.
