\nVomiting<\/strong>\u00a0is forceful, larger in volume, and may be linked with discomfort, poor feeding, or slow weight gain.<\/p>\n
\nMilk flows back from the stomach into the food pipe because the valve is still immature. This often causes frequent spitting up after feeds.<\/p>\n
\nNewborn stomachs are small. Feeding too much or too fast can stretch the stomach and lead to vomiting.<\/p>\n
\nSome babies react to cow\u2019s milk protein or soy. This can cause vomiting, stomach upset, and irritability.<\/p>\n
\nConditions like stomach infections or urinary infections may cause vomiting along with fever, diarrhea, or tiredness.<\/p>\n
\nRarely, a blockage in the intestine can cause persistent or projectile vomiting. This needs urgent medical care.<\/p>\n
\n–\u00a0Projectile vomiting<\/strong>
\n–\u00a0Vomiting with fever, weakness, or dehydration<\/strong>
\n–\u00a0Blood in vomit<\/strong>
\n–\u00a0Poor feeding or slow weight gain<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nBurp your baby during and after feeds<\/strong>\u00a0to reduce trapped air.
\nKeep your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding<\/strong>\u00a0to lower reflux.
\nMaintain hydration<\/strong>\u00a0by following your doctor\u2019s advice if vomiting continues.<\/p>\n
