Question
What should you do if a baby cries, has dry heaves, and vomits during feeding? What causes these symptoms?
Answer
If a baby cries, has dry heaves, and vomits during feeding, it may be due to swallowing too much air. It is recommended to keep the baby’s head higher than its abdomen while feeding to reduce the amount of air swallowed. Additionally, changing the baby’s diaper before it starts crying can help prevent the baby from swallowing too much air, thereby reducing the symptoms of crying and dry heaves.
