My baby is 3 months and vomits 2 to 3 times everyday after taking feed

Q. My baby is 3 months and vomits 2 to 3 times everyday after taking feeds. Should I be worried?

Ans: Babies less than 5 months may vomit after feeds due

immaturity of the junction between stomach and food pipe.

It is probably caused by mild feeding problems, such as reflux or ingestion of air while feeding or his tummy being too full.

Usually vomiting a small amount of undigested or curdled milk is nothing to worry about, and soon gets better.

Here is what you can do to help your baby recover:

1. Keep baby hydrated: Monitor how many times the baby is passing urine. Usually, passing urine six times or more in 24 hours is sufficient.
2. Apply a warm compress: You can place a warm cloth on your baby’s tummy or gently rub his/her tummy using it. This provides relief from gas.
3. Remember to burp for a few minutes after every feed
4. Weight gain is an important marker of “all is good”
5. So as long as your baby seems otherwise healthy and continues to gain weight, there should be no need to worry.
