my 2 month baby cries a lot and couldn't digest the milk.whenever I feed her she vomit.. what should I do?

Question

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry to hear your baby is experiencing difficulty with feeding. Frequent crying and vomiting after feeding in a 2-month-old could be caused by a few different factors:

Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD): It's common for babies to have some reflux, which can cause milk to come back up and lead to vomiting after feeding. You can try feeding your baby in a more upright position and burping them well during and after feeds to help reduce reflux.

Overfeeding or Fast Flow: If the milk flow is too fast or if your baby is drinking too quickly, it may lead to discomfort and vomiting. You might consider adjusting the nipple size on the bottle (if bottle-feeding) or ensuring your baby is latched well while breastfeeding.

Allergy or Sensitivity: If your baby is intolerant to a particular protein in the formula (if using formula), or to dairy in breast milk, it could cause digestive issues. Speak to your pediatrician to rule out milk protein allergy or other sensitivities.

Colic: Excessive crying, often in the evening, is typical of colic, and while it doesn't usually cause vomiting, it can make feeding times more stressful.

It's important to consult your pediatrician if the vomiting persists or is accompanied by other signs such as weight loss, dehydration, or irritability. Your doctor can help determine the cause and offer suitable treatment options.
