Question
The 3-month-old baby still frequently spits up milk, sometimes forcefully, and is accompanied by coughing and phlegm in the throat. The baby is restless at night. The baby has been examined at Nanjing Tongren Hospital, where the doctor diagnosed it as a digestive system issue and prescribed medications such as MamiAi, JunbaoKang probiotics, and YouLeYuan calcium fortification.
Answer
Pay attention to the feeding posture when breastfeeding, ensuring that the bottle is filled to the brim to reduce air intake. After feeding, gently hold the baby upright, with the head resting on the mother’s shoulder, and gently pat the baby’s back to help expel air from the stomach. Additionally, continue to administer the medication prescribed by the doctor and observe whether the baby’s symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take the baby back to the hospital for a follow-up visit.
