Question

Accepted Answer

that is very normal that small children after taking breastfeeding will regurgitate small amount of milk.

if the amount of milk is less than 10 ml no need to worry.
 this curd like milk is normal and no treatment is required. 
but if the quantity of milk is more than you have to rule out any gastric problem the child might be having (can give drops domstal 3 drops then wait for half hr and then give milk)
you can decrease the the regurgitation by giving more burping time to the child.

also due to common pathway at the back between nasal cavity and the oral cavity the milkh can come out through the nasal cavity also during the regurgitation and vomiting which is normal
meet your dr if vomiting is in large quantity and happening again and again

It sounds like your baby might be spitting up frequently during burping. This is common in infants and can happen due to immature digestive systems. Here are a few tips to help reduce spit-ups:

1. **Burp Gently:** Pat or rub your baby's back gently while holding them upright after feeding to encourage burping without causing discomfort.

2. **Feed in an Upright Position:** Keep your baby in a slightly upright position while feeding to reduce air intake, which can contribute to spit-ups.

3. **Avoid Overfeeding:** Feed your baby in smaller, more frequent sessions to prevent them from taking in too much milk or formula at once.

4. **Check Feeding Technique:** Ensure your baby is latched correctly during breastfeeding or that the bottle nipple allows for proper milk flow without excess air intake.

As for hair growth, ensuring your baby gets a balanced diet rich in nutrients like vitamins A, C, D, and E can support healthy hair growth. Additionally, gently massaging your baby's scalp with natural oils like coconut or almond oil can promote circulation and stimulate hair follicles. Always ensure the oil is applied in small amounts and that it's suitable for your baby's sensitive skin.
