Vomiting and spitting in general
If your baby drinks too much, it will simply vomit up the excess. This is a completely normal reaction. The little body regulates itself. You can prevent this by letting the baby burp from time to time. If your breast is very full, you can squeeze it out with your flat hand before putting it on so that your baby does not choke.
In the first few weeks of life, many infants often vomit even the smallest amount of milk. The pylorus cramps and this leads to so-called pyloric spasm (pylorospasm). However, it is also possible that your newborn simply does not tolerate the milk in this case.
If the vomiting continues or your child is not eating at all and is losing weight rapidly, you should consult a doctor immediately!
Homeopathy for vomiting
If your child vomits even the smallest amounts, you can also try the mother tincture of Amygdalus perisa (peach tree). Add 10 drops to 100 ml of freshly boiled water. Once cool, give your baby a plastic teaspoon of this mixture every three to six hours.
The table below lists homeopathic remedies that you can give your child for vomiting and spitting up. However, since these disorders can also occur in combination with many other symptoms, it only contains the most common ones. You can find compact information about other symptoms and how they can be treated with homeopathic remedies in Sven Sommer’s guide “Homeopathy for Children”.
With homeopathic treatment, both you and your baby should take a dose of the appropriate remedy about 15 minutes before breastfeeding. To do this, you can carefully put a globulus in your child’s cheek pouch with your finger. If necessary, you can also crush the beads with a plastic spoon beforehand.
