When a baby vomits and has diarrhea, most novice parents are at a loss and quickly take the baby to the hospital, fearing any accidents may occur. Actually, parents don't need to be so anxious.

Then press both hands onto the baby's belly button and wait for about 2 seconds before using your hands to start rubbing on the baby's belly. At this point, do not use too much force.

If a baby experiences vomiting and diarrhea, in addition to the above situation, there is another possibility, which can be quite tricky.
