The human body is hard to operate, and babies are born a little unfinished so their big, brain containing, head will fit out of their mother. Burping out gas without puking is a learned skill, which babies haven’t learned.

Their esophagus isn’t completely developed when they first come out, so it’s not so much a ‘vomit’ as it is ‘whoops, that sphincter didn’t close properly’

I breastfed my baby, and if I drank milk, my baby would spit up. When I stopped ingesting milk and other dairy products, my baby didn’t spit up at all. Since such a large percent of people are lactose intolerant, so this made sense to me and it was a simple fix (though going dairy free for that long was tough!).

Interestingly enough, mine only threw up once as an infant. And that was only have having her milk and rolling around a bit too much.

Babies are born under developed. All other primates stay in the womb for a year, we come out at 9 months because our head is so big. As such a lot of things in our body aren’t fully developed one of which is the digestive system.

Though I do like your theory that mfs be drunk 24/7. Also that, yes. Milk drink and useless.

Colloquially, most parents and pediatricians make a distinction between “spit up” and “vomit.” Spit up happens when an immature esophagus can’t keep its little trap door closed and it just oops back out. You’ll see videos of babies sitting very peacefully and milk just dribbles back out— there’s no diaphragm action that forces it the stomach to empty entirely. Vomit, on the other hand, is forceful and reactive, usually in response to illness.

Maybe a side topic, but I had a nephew who was born with too tight an esophageal muscle to let his food reach his stomach. It all just came back up. Had to have a surgery to loosen a sphincter above his stomach so he could digest anything. Poor kid.

They aren’t fully developed. They need to be burped and such. And don’t have self control. They might eat/drink too much, same thing happens to my cat, he eats too much and pukes.

Because they’re lightweights and can’t hold their god damn booze.

Can’t even handle a shot of bourbon for the croup.
