Dear Mother,
We need to assess if he is latching correctly.
Although newborn spit ups are very common thing to happen.
But can be avoided by knowing the correct technique.
If you are a first time mother a session on Lactation Counseling may be highly beneficial for you.
Next Steps
Kindly Consult Online /In Clinic.
