POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. Vomiting in a 3-month-old baby can be distressing, but it’s a common issue and often resolves as their digestive system matures. The most likely causes include gastroesophageal reflux (GER), overfeeding, or minor stomach sensitivities. Here's how you can address it and when to seek help:
Steps to Manage Vomiting:
1. Feed in Small Amounts: Avoid overfeeding by offering smaller, more frequent feeds rather than large volumes at once.
2. Burp Frequently: Burp your baby during and after feeding to release trapped air that may contribute to vomiting.
3. Hold Upright After Feeding: Keep your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding to help prevent milk from coming back up.
4. Adjust Feeding Position: Ensure your baby’s head is slightly elevated during feeding to minimize reflux.
5. Monitor for Allergies: If you're breastfeeding, consider avoiding foods like dairy, caffeine, or spicy items, which may irritate your baby’s tummy. For formula-fed babies, consult your pediatrician about switching to a different type of formula if needed.
When to Seek Medical Help:
Persistent or Forceful Vomiting: If your baby is frequently vomiting in a projectile manner, it could indicate pyloric stenosis (a rare condition).
Signs of Dehydration: Fewer wet diapers, a dry mouth, or lethargy.
Blood or Greenish Color in Vomit: This requires immediate medical attention.
Poor Weight Gain: If vomiting interferes with your baby's growth.
Since medications haven’t helped, it may be worth consulting your pediatrician to rule out any underlying conditions such as reflux disease or milk intolerance. In the meantime, monitor your baby's hydration and feeding patterns closely.
