Fang Fang looked at the baby who was sleeping soundly, and there was a feeling of satisfaction in her heart. After almost 10 months of pregnancy, I finally "unloaded". And after returning home with the baby, the baby has gradually opened up in the past few days, unlike the wrinkled appearance when he was just born, the skin is pink and pink, especially beautiful.
The baby may know that Fang Fang is looking at her, and suddenly opens his mouth, looking for his mother to find something to eat. Fang Fang saw this and knew that the baby was hungry and wanted to eat. I picked up the baby and fed her.
The baby is still young and will be full and fall asleep in a moment. Fang Fang put the baby on the bed and let her sleep more, the newborn is to sleep more to grow well. I haven't eaten breakfast yet, I ate breakfast first, and then made up for sleep, this time lack of sleep is very serious.
Three or two bites will pull the breakfast into the mouth, millet porridge is too light, not delicious. Looking back at the baby, Fang Fang was shocked. There was milk flowing down from the corner of the baby's mouth, and Fang Fang quickly picked up the baby and gently patted the baby a few times. Seeing the baby's lips move a few times, this is the heart to relax.
When Fang Fang was nursing the baby, she was a little careless. After the newborn is nursed, if the care is not right, there will be cases of spitting up. What causes newborns to spit up milk? Let's take a look.
The cause of spitting up in newborns
1. Normal physiological phenomena of newborns
The stomach of newborns is horizontal, and the stomach volume is small, relatively speaking, it is easy to spit up milk.
The baby's digestive tract function gradually matures after 3 months, so not only the newborn has this situation, but also the baby less than 3 months old is more likely to spit up milk.
2. Swallow air when breastfeeding
When the baby is feeding, he is anxious to eat milk, or cries when he is breastfeeding, so that he will swallow a lot of air when he is breastfeeding.
After the air enters the stomach, because the gas is lighter than the liquid, it is easy for the baby to spit up milk.
Newborns spitting up milk is a normal physiological phenomenon, parents should not be too nervous, just need to master some feeding skills, you can prevent newborns from spitting up. Let me share with you how to prevent newborns from spitting up.
Prevents newborns from spitting up
1. Correct feeding posture
When feeding the baby, the new mother must hold the baby in her arms and keep the baby's body and the horizontal line at an oblique state of about 45 degrees.
In this way, the milk in the stomach will flow naturally, which will greatly reduce the probability of spitting up milk.
Therefore, when a new mother feeds her baby, she must not try to save trouble and directly lie in bed to feed the newborn. We need to know that an important reason for newborns to spit up is that new mothers do not feed in the correct position.
2. Help the newborn pat on the back
Fangfang mentioned earlier, after feeding the baby after feeding, directly put the baby on the bed to sleep, which is also incorrect.
After feeding the baby, the new mother can hold the baby upright and lean on her shoulder, gently pat the baby's back, and let the baby suck the air into the stomach when feeding by hiccups.
If you don't know how to master the length of time, then follow the 5 minutes per shot, which is an effective way to prevent newborns from spitting up.
3, the baby feeding should not be too urgent
Once the baby is hungry, or the mother does not feed in time, the baby will be in a hurry. The little mouth is constantly suckling, and sometimes even eats a sweat on the forehead.
When the baby feeds in this state, it is easy to spit up the phenomenon. The right approach, the new mother should control the speed of the baby's feeding, such as using her hands to control the speed of milk outflow, so that the baby does not eat too much.
When our baby has vomited, don't be nervous or worried. Do a good job of nursing after the baby spits up, and you can do it. So, how to care for the newborn after vomiting? Let me tell you about it.
1. After spitting up milk, clean up the milk traces in time
Spitting up milk in newborns is a normal physiological phenomenon, and no matter how careful the care of new mothers, it is inevitable that one or two spit-ups will occur occasionally. When the baby spits up, the novice mother can use a warm towel to gently wipe the milk marks on the baby's mouth and the corners of the mouth.
Check your baby's mouth for anything, and then observe if your baby is dehydrated. If there is a lack of water, do not immediately give the baby hydration, you can feed the baby some boiled water about 30 minutes after the baby spits up.
2. After spitting up, observe the baby's state
Although spitting up milk is a normal behavior of the baby, it has nothing to do with whether the body is unwell, but there are special cases.
After the baby spits up, the novice mother should pay attention to observe whether the baby is spitting up milk, observe the baby's face after spitting up, and observe the baby's mental state after spitting up.
If your baby is frequently spitting up and vomiting is severe each time. Then, it is recommended that the new mother take the baby to the hospital for examination.
Written in the end: the reserve of newborn knowledge in advance for new mothers, when encountering the unique phenomenon of newborns, they can know how to prevent and care. If you don't know how to care for a newborn, and you really run into it, and there is no one else around to help, you will be helpless. Therefore, new mothers should also continue to learn.
