The reason why newborns always spit up milk after drinking milk
Vomiting up is a common phenomenon among babies, especially among newborns. Many new parents will encounter this problem, what should they do? First, you need to understand why newborns spit up milk frequently. The digestive system of newborns is not fully developed, and the gastrointestinal tract is too fragile and susceptible to external influences. In addition, babies who inhale too much air or have too much milk can also cause vomiting. Another situation is psychological factors. Some babies may feel uncomfortable or emotionally unstable due to various reasons, and may also spit up milk.
How to prevent newborns from spitting up milk
1. Breastfeeding posture
When your baby is breastfeeding, you should adopt a more appropriate posture. Generally speaking, a simpler position is to let the baby lie on the mother\’s chest, which can prevent the baby from swallowing too much air. During the feeding process, the baby should be kept in a comfortable position and should not be held excessively to avoid oppression.
2. Frequency of feeding
The gastrointestinal function of newborns is relatively weak, and they can only continue to eat after digestion is completed. Therefore, children must get enough rest time after eating, otherwise it will lead to spitting up. Generally speaking, breastfed children feed more frequently, but each feeding time is shorter, allowing the child to have sufficient rest time.
3. Breastfeeding method
When feeding, you can adjust the angle of the bottle appropriately to keep the milk flow at a moderate rate and avoid being too fast or too slow. At the same time, the size of the bottle needs to be suitable for the baby so that the baby does not get too much milk.
How to deal with newborn spitting up milk
1. Clean up in time
After the child vomits milk, it must be cleaned up in time. Do not wipe it off directly as this may irritate your child\’s skin. Pure cotton handkerchiefs, towels and other materials should be used to scrub and gently clean the milk from the child.
2. Give enough comfort
Your baby may become irritable after spitting up milk. At this time, parents need to provide sufficient care and comfort to avoid causing too much anxiety to their children.
3. Seek medical attention
If the baby spits up milk more seriously or develops other symptoms, such as diarrhea, fever, etc., it is recommended to go to the hospital for consultation and treatment in time. The doctor can develop corresponding treatment plans based on the child\’s actual condition.
Summary
It is a common phenomenon for newborns to spit up milk, but it still has a certain impact on the baby\’s health and growth.
