Question

A newborn less than a month and a half old often makes grunting sounds and kicks vigorously during nighttime sleep, with a flushed face. Sometimes, they even vomit due to the effort and occasionally, milk may be sneezed out through the nose. This situation causes the parents both concern and frustration. Experienced netizens, how should one handle such a situation?

Answer

Newborns may make noises and struggle when falling asleep at night due to hunger or the need to urinate or defecate. Parents should address these needs promptly. Additionally, since newborns have a horizontal stomach position and a relaxed opening of the stomach, it is common for them to spit up or have milk sneezed out through the nose. To prevent choking, parents can try gently patting the baby on the back after feeding until they are settled. As the baby grows, this condition will gradually improve.
