Question
Will combining breast milk and formula feeding lead to severe baby spitting up?
Answer
Newborns, due to their shorter esophagus and a relaxed lower esophageal sphincter, are prone to vomiting when consuming a mixture of breast milk and formula. This is a common occurrence, but if the amount of vomiting is excessive, it is advisable to observe for other gastrointestinal symptoms and consider taking the baby to a doctor for a check-up to rule out potential gastrointestinal problems or congenital diseases.
