#asktheexpert my four months 20 says old daughter trying to vomit from last 3 days but she didn't vomiting. sometimes she spitup some curdled milk like jelly. what happened.. she looks like irritatable and most of time trying to vomiting

A. If your 4-month-old daughter is frequently trying to vomit, seems irritable, and is spitting up curdled milk, there could be several potential causes: 1. **Reflux**: Gastroesophageal reflux (GER) is common in infants and can cause spitting up and discomfort. This occurs when stomach contents flow back into the esophagus. 2. **Overfeeding**: If your baby is eating too much at once, it can lead to spitting up. Smaller, more frequent feedings might help. 3. **Food Sensitivities**: Sometimes, certain foods in your diet (if breastfeeding) or the formula itself can cause digestive discomfort. 4. **Air Swallowing**: If your baby swallows air while feeding, it can cause discomfort and spitting up. Burping your baby frequently during feedings may help reduce this. 5. **Infection or Illness**: Vomiting and irritability can sometimes be signs of an underlying illness or infection. **What You Can Do**: - **Feed Smaller Amounts**: Try giving smaller, more frequent feedings. - **Keep Upright**: Hold your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding to help with digestion. - **Burp Regularly**: Ensure your baby is burped well during and after feeds to reduce swallowed air. - **Monitor Symptoms**: Keep an eye on other symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, or signs of dehydration. **Consult Your Pediatrician**: Given that your baby has been experiencing these symptoms for several days and appears uncomfortable, it's important to consult your pediatrician. They can evaluate your baby's condition, determine the cause, and recommend appropriate treatment or adjustments to feeding practices.
