How to effectively solve the problem of baby spitting up milk
Babies spitting up milk is a problem that every parent often encounters. Although the phenomenon of spitting up milk is normal to a certain extent, parents still need to take timely and effective measures to prevent infant spitting up milk from adversely affecting the baby\’s health. This article will share how to effectively solve the problem of baby spitting up milk from four aspects: feeding method, environment, mother\’s diet and baby\’s condition.
Feeding methods
First, the feeding angle. When feeding, hold the baby\’s head higher than the body so that the back and head are in a straight line. Avoid having your baby lie down while feeding. Because lying flat will cause the baby to swallow too much gas, causing gastrointestinal flatulence and causing the baby to vomit milk.
Second, the interval. The interval between feedings should not be too long or too short. The appropriate time is about 2 hours. If the baby is hungry for too long, breathes too fast, eats too much, and eats after the stomach is full, the baby will easily vomit milk.
Third, the amount of milk fed. Don’t overfeed each time. Feeding in an appropriate amount can reduce the phenomenon of your baby spitting up milk. Generally speaking, the amount of milk your baby eats every day is about 1500 ml.
Environment
First, the wind blows. Avoid letting your baby directly face hair dryers, air conditioners and other electrical equipment to blow or catch cold when feeding. The baby will feel uncomfortable and vomit milk.
Second, be quiet. When feeding, the baby should be placed in a quiet environment and avoid excessive noise or stimulation. This will help the baby eat comfortably.
Third, activities. After feeding, the baby should not move immediately. Let the baby rest for a while. You can burp well to allow the gas in the stomach to be discharged to avoid vomiting caused by excessive accumulation of gas in the stomach.
Mom’s diet
First, eat lightly. During the breastfeeding period, mothers should reduce their intake of spicy and greasy foods, and avoid raw and cold foods. This will help reduce the irritating ingredients in milk and make your baby healthier.
Second, don’t eat too quickly. Eating in a hurry during meals can easily cause mothers to swallow air by mistake. At the same time, lying down correctly is harmful to gastrointestinal motility, so mothers should also get used to eating quickly.
Third, drink more water. Breastfeeding mothers should pay attention to drinking more water. Ensuring adequate water intake can promote milk secretion, and can also help toxins be discharged from the body and reduce the damage of toxins to the baby.
Baby status
First, change the diaper. It\’s best to change your baby\’s diaper before (or within a few hours of) feeding. If the diaper is too wet or old, it will not only soak into the baby\’s body, but also create an uncomfortable feeling and increase the possibility of the baby spitting up milk.
Second, prepare towels. During the feeding process, a clean towel should be prepared to wipe the corners of the baby\’s mouth or mouth to prevent food from dripping on the baby\’s clothes and causing discomfort to the baby.
Third, observe the baby\’s physical reaction. If the baby develops uncomfortable symptoms while feeding, such as erratic movements of hands and feet, spitting up, coughing, etc., the feeding should be stopped in time to prevent the baby from feeling uncomfortable.
Conclusion
To sum up, the solution to baby spitting up milk can be solved from the perspective of feeding, environment, motherStart with four aspects of diet and baby\’s condition. Among them, the feeding method and the environment are very important. The impact of environmental factors on the baby must be fully considered. The mother\’s diet should be simple and light, and the baby\’s condition also needs constant attention. As long as parents pay attention to their daily care and pay more attention to their babies\’ physical reactions, the problem of babies spitting up milk can be effectively solved.
