The phenomenon of a baby spitting up may be related to indigestion, so it is important to be cautious not to overfeed the baby. After breastfeeding, you can try to hold the baby on an adult’s shoulder and gently pat their back to help expel any swallowed air, while ensuring that the holding motion is gentle to avoid any vigorous activity.
When facing a baby spitting up like a fountain, one possibility is poor digestive system function. A remedy is to try giving probiotics, such as Mommy’s Love or Chang Le Kang, and to adjust feeding methods to avoid eating too quickly. Additionally, if there is projectile vomiting, it should be taken very seriously, as this may be a sign of increased intracranial pressure, requiring a CT scan or MRI of the head to rule out related diseases.
If the milk that the baby spits up resembles clear water, this may be related to the amount of water given, especially when a large volume is given on an empty stomach, which can easily cause the baby to spit up water, particularly in younger infants. Although babies may occasionally experience milk reflux, this typically involves only a small amount of milk, and the majority can still be digested and absorbed normally. Therefore, babies in such situations are rarely at risk of malnutrition.
