A five-month-old baby may experience vomiting with a sour taste, which could be caused by various reasons, including overfeeding and immature digestive system. To alleviate this condition, after feeding, keep the baby upright and on their side, and consider using gastric protease granules, pediatric compound pancreatic enzyme powder, or baby digestion-enhancing powder for assistance in digestion. To prevent vomiting, adopt a feeding method of small and frequent meals, avoiding feeding too much or too quickly at once. During and after feeding, gently pat the baby’s back to help release swallowed air and reduce stomach pressure.
Furthermore, if a five-month-old baby vomits with milk curds and has a thick tongue coating, this may indicate indigestion. Improvements may include increasing the baby’s fluid intake, performing abdominal massage to aid digestion, and incorporating fiber-rich foods such as vegetables and fruits into their diet, which helps regulate the digestive system. Moderate exercise and probiotic supplementation can effectively enhance the baby’s intestinal health, improving digestion and immunity.
When a baby experiences vomiting, sour taste, cold, and cough symptoms concurrently, it may be due to reduced resistance caused by a cold, affecting the functions of the upper respiratory tract and gastrointestinal tract. In such cases, appropriate medication is suggested, such as cephalosporin granules for infection control and pediatric cough syrup to ease coughing. Ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, consumes easily digestible foods, avoids spicy foods, and stays warm to prevent the cold from worsening.
As for a five-month-old baby frequently vomiting sour milk, this might be due to the blend of milk with stomach acid. Normally, observation for a few days without excessive worry, along with continuing the above-mentioned care measures, can support the gradual maturation and improvement of the baby’s digestive system.
