Question

What should we do if a newborn baby vomits?

Answer

Newborn baby vomiting is a common occurrence, usually caused by physiological factors. However, when parents see their baby vomiting, they often feel anxious and confused. This article will detail the causes of baby vomiting, how to properly care for a baby who has vomited, and methods to prevent vomiting. When breastfeeding babies experience diarrhea, they can shorten the duration of each feeding session, allowing the baby to consume the first half of the milk. This is because the first half of breast milk contains higher protein content, which is easier to digest and more nutritious, while the latter half contains higher fat content, which is harder to digest. If necessary, mothers can drink a large glass of diluted salt water 30 minutes to 1 hour before feeding to thin out the milk before breastfeeding.
