Question

The child often cries while eating and throws up everything they’ve eaten. Besides throwing up in the nose, it’s heartbreaking to see; the clothes are all wet. They throw up as much as they eat. Is this a serious symptom? What could be causing it? They have been exclusively breastfeeding.

Answer

I’m sorry to hear about your concern. The baby is still young, and their stomach is still developing. Based on your description, it’s suggested not to feed the baby while they are crying, and to hold the baby upright after feeding and gently pat their back until they burp. This can help the baby digest and prevent vomiting. Additionally, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up promptly. I hope my answer helps, and wish the baby a healthy growth!
