The baby is exclusively on breast milk. He vomits n also have running nose
Brief Answer:
Due to colics.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Let me first ask whether the baby is exclusively breastfed or whether formula feeds are being given. Babies often get colics especially when on formula feeds. In such a case switching back to breast milk should provide relief. You should burp the baby for at least 15-20 mins after each feed. All you need to do is to hold the baby head end elevated for this duration. The extra air is taken causes distention and hence colics. Proper burping will ensure its escape and the milk will not regurgitate back from the stomach to the food pipe, thus providing relief. You can otherwise give Coliaid when needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
