Question
My son is six months old, and he keeps vomiting. What should I do?
Answer
Infant vomiting is a normal phenomenon. This is because the baby’s stomach is horizontal and underdeveloped, and their stomach capacity is small, making them prone to vomiting. It is recommended not to overfeed the baby during feeding sessions, and after feeding, always hold the baby upright and gently pat their back to help expel air from the stomach. Additionally, try to avoid letting the baby engage in vigorous activities immediately after eating. If the vomiting is severe and the baby’s weight gain is not significant, or if there are unusual vomiting symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
