Question

Is it suitable for newborns to drink loquat leaf decoction?

Answer

Vomiting in newborns is caused by the relaxation of the gastroesophageal sphincter. It is recommended to maintain proper breastfeeding posture and to hold the baby upright after feeding, avoiding immediate placement down. Loquat leaf decoction is not traditionally used for treating newborn vomiting, and therefore, it is not advisable to give it to newborns without professional medical advice.
