POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy7 months agoA. It's common for newborns, especially around one month of age, to spit up milk due to their immature digestive system. Here are some things you can try to reduce spitting up:
Burp Your Baby Properly: After each feeding, try to burp your baby for a few minutes. This helps release any trapped air in the stomach, which can cause milk to be spit up.
Feed in Smaller Amounts: Try feeding your baby smaller amounts more frequently. Overfeeding can cause your baby to spit up more.
Keep Baby Upright After Feeding: After feeding, hold your baby upright for 20-30 minutes to allow gravity to help keep the milk down. Avoid lying your baby flat right after feeding.
Check the Feeding Position: Make sure that your baby’s head is higher than their stomach during feedings to reduce the chances of spitting up.
Use a Slow-Flow Nipple (if bottle-feeding): If you're bottle-feeding, try using a slow-flow nipple to help your baby feed more slowly and reduce air intake.
Keep the Baby Calm During Feeding: Try to keep your baby calm during and after feeding. Crying or being too active can lead to more spitting up.
If your baby seems to be spitting up excessively or is not gaining weight, it’s a good idea to consult with your pediatrician to rule out any underlying issues like reflux.
