Question
The baby is on mixed feeding, experiencing severe and frequent vomiting, sometimes even when drinking water. The stool was yellow before the jaundice disappeared and is now green, with frequent and smelly bowel movements. The stool is now passed every 2 to 4 days. Burping is not effective, as the baby vomits immediately after. The baby is now three months old. How can I reduce the frequency of vomiting?
Answer
The baby’s vomiting is caused by dyspepsia due to overfeeding. The green stool is due to body heat. It is recommended to dress appropriately according to the room temperature, drink more plain water to expel toxins from the body, and take probiotics to regulate gastrointestinal function. Feeding should be regular and measured, with at least a three-hour interval between feedings. With these suggestions, it is hoped that the frequency of the baby’s vomiting can be reduced.
