Can you feed your baby again if he spits up?

Spitting up is also a common symptom in infancy and early childhood, and is mainly related to the development of the gastrointestinal tract and the amount of food consumed. In general, it is not recommended to feed your baby immediately after spitting up. It is best to observe your baby for about half an hour and start feeding again when there is no abnormal condition. The causes of vomiting are mainly related to the amount of food, too much air in the stomach, choking and coughing during the feeding process or eating too fast, etc. Spitting up may also be pathological. Vomiting is often accompanied by stomach cramps of varying severity, and if breastfeeding is given immediately after vomiting, it may cause vomiting again. Gastric spasmodic changes after continuous vomiting often do not disappear in a short time and their persistence may lead to frequent episodes of vomiting. Therefore, it is not advisable to feed the baby immediately after vomiting. You should pick the baby up gently and pat the back so that the air in the stomach can be expelled and the food in the stomach can be moved down, and continue to observe the baby for half an hour.
