Question
My baby has been vomiting since birth while feeding, and I initially thought it was spitting up milk. However, in recent days, the vomiting has become more severe, and sometimes even after burping after feeding, the baby will vomit in large amounts. I want to know what the causes of newborn baby vomiting are?
Answer
Newborn baby vomiting is a normal physiological phenomenon, related to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of newborns and their feeding methods. As long as the baby sleeps well, is not often crying, has an appetite for feeding, there is usually no need for special treatment. If after the vomiting situation improves, the baby shows symptoms such as lack of energy, wanting to sleep all the time, restlessness, inability to sleep, fever, or abdominal bloating, it may indicate illness and needs to be treated promptly. As the baby grows older, the vomiting usually decreases gradually and stops around seven or eight months old. Possible causes of vomiting include:
- The baby swallowing too much air
- Feeding
