Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 m old boy3 years agoA. it is very important that after giving milk to the child you
should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because if the gas is not removed properly it will lead to
colic pain and more hiccups
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.
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 the oral cavity the milk 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
