My 4 weeks old baby does not burp after feeding and something spits milk

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 milk can come out through the nasal cavity also during the regurdgitation and vomiting which is normal
meet your ddr if vomiting is in large quantity and happening again and again

Hi, vomiting and reflux is normal as their digestion system is still developing. That's why they send back milk either through nose or mouth. it's normal.

Make the baby burp after feed and keep them in up right position for sometime even after burp.

Don't overfeed the baby. sometimes baby just latch for comfort.

take a look at your diet, eat healthy and timely meals.

if vomiting frequency is more or problem still continues, please check with doctor.

thanks

Hello dear parent! Hold your baby in upright position for sometime and gently rub on the back till your baby burps at least once. Keep Babyhug tummy roll on handy. Consult your doctor for further assistance. Good luck and take care
