Is a weight gain of 1 kg (from 2.85 kg to 3.85 kg) at 55 days adequate for an infant who continues to spit up after feedings despite being prescribed Domstal (domperidone), and what is the expected timeline for this symptom to resolve?
A weight gain of 1 kg over 55 days is reassuring and shows she is absorbing nutrients. Spitting up is very common in infants due to an immature digestive system. While Domstal (domperidone) helps support digestion, occasional spitting up can still happen. You can expect this to improve significantly around 6 months of age and usually resolve by 12 months as she grows and begins sitting up. Please continue to partner with your pediatrician to monitor her weight gain and ensure she remains comfortable.
