Laryngomalacia
My sister's boy baby is suffering from Laryngomalacia from his birth. He is now 3 months old and his current weight is 5.5 kg. He is vomiting a lot almost on every feed. Sometimes there was no vomiting when he slept. Our doctor suggested Rantac and domstal drops.
Kindly i request doctors to inform me that when his vomiting will reduce permanently. And what is the alternative to minimize his vomiting .
Thank you 🙏

No need to worry about the vomitting as there is good weight gain of the baby. It is called GERD it will settle by 7-8 months and laryngomalacia will settle by 2 yrs. The prblm will come down as baby grows..

Give the baby a propped up position .. head/ neck and shoulder slightly higher than the rest of the body
Burp the baby for 20-30 minutes post feed
Give small frequent feeds
It sounds like reflux which usually gets better with gravity , once the child learns to sit
And the malacia gets better with age as cartilage matured by 18 months and above…
