Dr. Wang Leisheng
Frequent, large-volume spitting up in newborns is commonly caused by incorrect feeding posture or excessively rapid feeding; it may also result from gastrointestinal chilling. Therefore, applying warm compresses combined with clockwise abdominal massage can help stimulate gastrointestinal motility and alleviate symptoms. Additionally, ensure adequate abdominal warmth in daily care, and gently pat the baby’s back after feeding to facilitate air expulsion.
