Question

My baby is about one month old. Lately, after feeding, when she lies down, she will cough up milk, turn red in the face, and thrash her limbs around, requiring a lot of patting to soothe her. The baby seems very uncomfortable, and the parents are very worried. They are asking whether this is related to the formula milk.

Answer

The baby’s spitting up may be due to overeating, causing belly bloating and subsequent difficulty breathing. If the situation is severe, you can have the baby lie on its stomach to help expel the milk in the stomach, thereby improving the symptoms. It is recommended to reduce the amount of milk during each diaper change and increase the number of feedings. Since the baby is only one month old, its digestive system has not fully developed and is prone to such situations. If necessary, please contact a professional healthcare provider. Wishing your baby a healthy growth. I hope my suggestions are helpful.
