Question

Can newborns eat loquat leaves? My baby is just 21 days old and has been vomiting forcefully today after a period of not vomiting. There was some milk regurgitation after feeding, and someone suggested that drinking water boiled with loquat leaves can stop the vomiting.

Answer

There is no scientific evidence to support the use of loquat leaves to treat vomiting. It is recommended to gently pat the baby’s back after feeding, wait until they burp, then lower them slightly and elevate the head to prevent vomiting. When changing diapers, do not change too many at once to avoid feeding the baby while they are crying. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
