Feeding the baby to drink milk, the most feared thing is that the baby chokes on milk. Before the age of 1, the baby's gastrointestinal development is immature, the swallowing response is slow, and it is very easy to choke on milk. Whether it is physiological or pathological choking, first aid in the event of a seizure is very important, and improper handling may cause the baby to choke! Therefore, when feeding the baby, we must prevent choking, once we encounter choking and suffocation, parents must know how to give first aid!
What should I do if my baby chokes on milk?
1. Clean the respiratory tract (first of all, drain the milk in the trachea)
If the degree of choking is mild (the baby has a cough, but there is no purple face), turn the baby's face to the side and pat the baby's back with an empty palm; if the baby chokes on the baby's back (there is a purple face), the baby should be allowed to lie on the adult's leg, tilt the upper body down about 45 degrees, and vigorously pat the back four or five times.
2. Remove foreign matter from the mouth
Wrap your fingers around your fingers in gauze and reach into your baby's mouth to remove the foreign body to avoid choking again.
3. Observe the baby's face and crying
If the baby is bruised and does not cry, dial 120 immediately, and at the same time do CPR and rescue the baby (learn Heimlich First Aid).
Tips to prevent your baby from choking on milk
1. Feeding posture
It is not recommended to let the baby lie down to feed, because the body is relatively peaceful at this time, feeding is easy to appear symptoms of choking, it is recommended that the mother hold the baby, while allowing the baby's upper body and lower body to form a certain tilt angle, this situation is not easy to cause choking;
2. Adjust the flow rate of breast milk
If the mother's milk is particularly sufficient and the outflow rate is particularly fast, it is recommended to squeeze out part of the milk and then feed it, which can avoid the choking symptoms caused by the milk flowing out too fast.
3. The timing of feeding is appropriate
Do not feed when the baby is crying or laughing; do not wait until the baby is already hungry to feed, the baby eats too quickly and is easy to choke; the child is full and cannot be forced to feed again, forced feeding is prone to accidents.
4. Discharge gas from the stomach
After feeding, hold the baby upright on the shoulder, pat the baby on the back to help him expel gas from the stomach, preferably to hear the hiccup, and then put the baby on the bed. The head of the bed should be 15 degrees high, lie on the right side for 30 minutes, and then lie flat, and do not let the child sleep on his stomach. 【Popular Science】
