Babies spitting up milk is mainly due to immature stomach development. In most cases, it is a normal physiological phenomenon. Parents do not need to worry too much. As long as it is not uncomfortable, it will not affect development. However, babies with severe vomiting can cause suffocation, coughing and other dangers, so new mothers must not take it lightly.
Why does the baby spit up milk?
Babies spitting up milk is mainly due to blockage of the esophagus and stomach. Once air enters, it will cause spitting up milk. Sometimes it is true that eating too much makes the stomach suddenly expand, which can also easily cause spitting up milk. However, Mother Bao is just too worried. It is more common before the baby is 3 months old . After 6 months, as the age increases, this kind of spit-up will disappear on its own.
But this kind of spit-up will make the milk flow back, affect the baby's digestion and normal absorption, and cause malnutrition.
How to reduce the frequency of baby vomiting
Some novice mothers should not be too anxious when faced with the baby spitting up milk. As long as they face it correctly and find scientific methods to verify it, they can find the key to nursing.
1. Feed in small amounts and multiple times
The stomach of a normal baby is relatively immature and very fragile. Eating too much at one time will cause esophageal reflux, so it is necessary to control the amount of feeding at ordinary times, and the interval should be about 2 hours.
2. Don’t wear too much clothes
Some elders always feel that babies are fragile, and they have to wear a lot of clothes even in hot summer. In fact, babies have weak skin tissue and are prone to sweating. At this time, wearing too much clothes will not relax the baby's abdomen. , the milk just eaten will be easy to spit out.
- After eating milk, hold and walk for a few minutes
Some babies like to breastfeed and sleep, and fall asleep while eating, and some mothers will feel that they have fallen asleep, so why do they hold them up, in order to prevent the food from the stomach from flowing back, they have to hold the baby Elevate your upper body or walk around the room with your baby in your arms to avoid spitting up.
Finally, I need to remind all novice mothers that esophageal reflux is basically caused by young babies spitting up milk. There is no need to go to the doctor. Take your child to see a doctor. If it is frequent spitting up and the weight does not increase for several months, you also need to see a doctor in time.
