What Causes Recurrent Vomiting Episodes In An Infant After Breast Feeding?
Question: Hello dictor, my baby will be 2 minths on coming 23rd. She is vomitting frequently since yesterday after having feeding from mom. All milk which she takes from mom comes out as a vomit. Please suggest the solution, is it normal ? Or we should show to our doctor?
Brief Answer:
Give Domperidone drops and avoid overfeeding
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but don't worry. The most likely reasons for recurrent vomiting episodes after feeds in this age group is overfeeding, inadequate burping, gastroesphageal reflux, viral gastroenteritis or hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. I would recommend you to start him on antiemetic such as Domperidone drops along with proper burping after feeds. Also, ensure head-end up position of the baby in crib to avoid refluxes in lying down position.
If the vomiting spells continue, then do visit a pediatrician for clinical examination to rule out pyloric stenosis. They may advise you for ultrasound abdomen if required. Its an easily treatable condition if present so do not worry.
Hopefully it will be of help. I would be happy to help you in any further questions.
