Question 1: My baby is just one month old and spits up milk almost every time he is fed. What should I do? Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: It is very common for babies to spit up milk. Most of them are normal and physiological. Because the lower end of the esophagus or the cardiac cardia of the stomach is relatively loose, spitting up milk may occur if the abdomen is pressed hard after feeding or when the baby lies on his stomach. After vomiting, if the child does not show any pain and can still eat, there is no need to worry. If you do not eat normally after spitting up milk, you should see a doctor and have a color ultrasound of the lower abdomen and skull checked to see if the child is spitting up milk due to disease. As long as there are no organic diseases, the vomiting phenomenon will gradually improve with age. Pay attention to not letting the baby eat too fast or too full every time. Use scissor hands to control the flow rate of the nipple. After feeding, stand upright to burp and hold for a while. Do not lie down to feed. If the vomiting is serious, you can place the mattress on a small slope. position, the upper body should be elevated appropriately and positioned on the right side to reduce vomiting. Question 2: My baby is one year old and one month old. His head always tilts to one side and his neck is pinched. This happened occasionally before, but it is particularly frequent today. It happens every few tens of seconds for a while. Does this situation require medical attention? Dr. Cui Lixia answered: If it continues to be like this, it is abnormal and you need to seek medical examination. It is recommended to check the 24-hour electroencephalogram to rule out whether it is epilepsy. There are many types of epilepsy, and different types of epilepsy have different symptoms. Frequent head tilting and pinching of the neck are also symptoms of epilepsy. Question 3: My baby is 1 year and 9 months old. The small tendon in his upper lip was broken. It seems to be broken. Is it serious? Will it still grow? Dr. Xu Lijuan answered: It will not grow any longer, but it will not affect the development of the lips and does not require treatment.
