Hello My sister s baby is one week old now and nothing stays in his stomach. He vomits immediately after feeding but now it s coming through his nose while busy feeding. The doc said that his stomach flap is under developed. Will this come right and how long will it take. They don t want to keep the baby in the hospital. Someone suggested that she give the baby infacare formula because this apparently worked for her vomiting baby. Her first baby died because of this vomiting.
Hi... I have just read through your query. If I were your pediatrician I would consider these possibilities -1. Hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (obstruction of stomach outlet due to muscle over growth) - Though uncommon in female babies - yet is a possibility. We need to do an Ultrasound abdomen to rule this out.2. HERD - Sometimes the contents in the stomach swill come up to laxity in the esophageal sphincter. We can try a course of Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetic.3. Physiological - It can sometimes happen in completely normal babies. If the kid is gaining weight well and voiding urine well - then you need not worry it could be physiological or a normal phenomenon. Regards -
