Question
What are the causes of baby spitting up? How should it be handled?
Answer
Spitting up is a common digestive system symptom in newborns, which may be caused by improper feeding methods or underdeveloped gastrointestinal function. Newborns have small stomach capacities, relaxed esophagi, and underdeveloped lower esophageal sphincters, all of which can lead to spitting up. Parents should check their feeding methods and correct any improprieties immediately. For example, when feeding the baby milk or water, the baby should be held upright and gently tapped on the back to expel air from the stomach. Avoid excessive movement of the baby, and try to minimize movement for 30 minutes after feeding. Additionally, while adjusting feeding methods, pay attention to the baby’s overall condition. If spitting up continues or is accompanied by other symptoms, consult a professional doctor promptly."
