Causes of infant overflowing milk
Milk overflow is a very common problem for both mothers and babies. So, what is the cause of milk overflow in babies?
First of all, the baby\’s stomach capacity is small, and the air swallowed by the baby when eating will also occupy part of the stomach space. Therefore, when the baby eats too much or too fast, it is easy to cause milk overflow.
Secondly, the baby\’s digestive system is not fully developed and the digestive capacity of the stomach is also limited. Foods that are too large and too complex are prone to problems such as acid reflux, leading to milk overflow in babies.
At the same time, if the baby eats irregularly, eats too frequently or at too short intervals, it will also increase the risk of baby overflowing milk.
Finally, certain special circumstances, such as gastrointestinal infection in infants, excessive fatigue in infants, developmental malformations of the digestive system in infants, etc., can also lead to milk overflow in infants.
How to prevent babies from overflowing milk
To prevent the problem of infant milk overflow, you can start from the following aspects:
1. Control the amount and frequency of feeding
Mothers can control the amount and time of feeding according to the baby\’s age, physical condition, appetite and other factors, and try to ensure the regularity and stability of the baby\’s diet. At the same time, in order to reduce the intake of air, the baby should maintain a correct feeding posture when feeding.
2. Choose the right food
When feeding your baby, you should choose food that is rich in nutrients and easy to digest and absorb, and slowly increase the amount and type of food to adapt to the baby\’s dietary needs at different stages. When your baby develops symptoms such as indigestion, the food type and nutritional content should be adjusted in time.
3. Maintain baby’s health
Your baby\’s health is the key to preventing the problem of milk overflow in babies. Parents should provide their babies with a comfortable environment as much as possible to avoid the impact of excessive fatigue, tension, anxiety and other emotions on their babies. For some respiratory and other diseases, timely measures should be taken for prevention and treatment.
4. Observe and maintain your baby’s digestive system
In order to minimize the risk of baby overflowing milk, parents should also focus on their baby\’s digestive system. When you find that your baby has indigestion, nausea, abnormal bowel movements, etc., you should consult a doctor in time for examination and treatment.
