Breastfed infants often experience milk regurgitation around 1 to 2 months of age, usually due to increased breast milk production. Larger infants with higher food intake may vomit more frequently, and their bowel movements may increase, leading to rapid weight gain. When this occurs, it is advisable to reduce the amount of milk per feeding while increasing the frequency of feedings, adopting a technique known as ‘fewer meals but more often.’ Additionally, it is important to maintain an incline during breastfeeding, holding the baby’s head slightly elevated while feeding. After feeding, hold the baby upright against the adult’s shoulder and gently pat the back. Wait for 5 to 10 minutes before placing the baby back down, as this usually helps improve the vomiting situation.
