How to deal with severe vomiting in newborns
Vomiting is a common phenomenon in newborns, but if the amount of vomited milk is large or even exceeds the food intake, it is considered serious vomiting. This situation requires parents to pay great attention and take timely measures to prevent it from affecting the healthy growth of their children. The following will introduce how to deal with severe spitting up of newborns from various aspects such as feeding, nursing, and examination.
Feeding methods must be correct
Overeating or excessive hunger in newborns can easily cause vomiting. When feeding, keep the child\’s head high, maintain a quiet environment, and pay attention to the child\’s swallowing. At the same time, pay attention to the frequency of feeding and the amount of food eaten, and do not overfeed because you are worried that your child will not be full. Usually newborns eat six to eight times a day, about 30-60 ml each time, and the eating time is controlled within 30-45 minutes, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of vomiting.
Care must be meticulous
The skin of newborns is thin and tender, which is prone to external stimulation and vomiting. When nursing, pay attention to keeping the room temperature appropriate, airflow smooth, and well protected from light. Change the child\’s diapers and clothes in a timely manner, and try to avoid excessive massage or friction. After spitting up, the child\’s mouth, nose and body should be cleaned promptly to prevent secretions from being inhaled into the respiratory tract and causing suffocation and other dangerous situations.
Check for digestive system problems
If a child spits up milk severely, he or she needs to go to the hospital for examination in time to see if there is any digestive system problem. If a child develops symptoms such as indigestion, abnormal bowel movements, diarrhea, etc., timely examination and treatment are required. The doctor will provide appropriate drug treatment according to the situation to stabilize the baby\’s digestive system and reduce the frequency and extent of vomiting.
Parents should learn first aid measures
Sometimes, although preventive measures have been taken, parents may be at a loss when their child spits up milk and cannot provide emergency care to their child quickly. When a child spits up milk or inhales vomit or other dangerous situations, parents need to quickly purify the respiratory tract and seek help for treatment. While their children are growing up healthily, parents should also understand common first aid knowledge and master necessary first aid skills so that they can protect their children\’s lives in emergencies such as spitting up milk.
Summary
Vomiting is a relatively common phenomenon among newborns, but severe vomiting may affect the healthy growth of the child. In order to effectively prevent and deal with the problem of newborns spitting up milk, it is necessary to carry out comprehensive treatment from multiple aspects such as feeding, nursing, examination and first aid, and try to reduce various risks and dangers to the child. With the attention of parents and the treatment of doctors, I believe that the children\’s health will be effectively protected and they will grow up happily.
