New parents are often startled by the baby's spitting up, and then wonder if the child is uncomfortable? On this issue, Xiaojing felt the need to talk to everyone, such as when it is normal to spit up milk, when to vomit milk to seek medical treatment... First of all, we need to distinguish the difference between choking and vomiting.
Choking and vomiting
Many parents can't tell the difference between choking and vomiting, which refers to the fact that the contents of the stomach are forcibly "squeezed" from the stomach into the esophagus and spit out through the mouth. At the same time, the amount of vomiting is more than spitting up milk, if the baby often vomits, blood-like substances or yellow-green substances are found in the vomit, and there are other manifestations of illness, such as fever, diarrhea, breathing difficulties, etc., it is recommended that parents take their children to seek medical treatment in time.
Pathological spitting
Usually the baby spits up because of the small stomach capacity, especially when the milk is in the horizontal position just after feeding, there is also a dangerous situation - if the baby cannot spit out completely when spitting up, it may cause the risk of choking and choking.
Physiological spitting
Spitting up milk is mainly related to the immaturity of its stomach. The entrance of the stomach is relatively loose, the closure is not tight, it is easy to be flushed away by food, when the milk in the stomach is slightly more, it can be flushed open and flowed back to the esophagus and mouth, while the outlet pyloric muscles of the stomach are better developed, the closure is tighter, and the food passes slowly.
If it is physiological vomiting, it is recommended that parents do this:
Pick the right time
Feed your baby before they are extremely hungry to prevent them from accumulating too much air from crying violently
Find the right environment
Try to choose a dark and quiet environment when feeding to avoid distracting your baby
Pay attention to the feeding posture
When feeding, parents should pay attention to keeping the baby in a comfortable position, and when feeding, you can take the right lying position or oblique hugging position, or pick up the baby so that its body is slightly tilted at about 45 °.
After feeding, pick up your baby, let him lie on your shoulder, and burp.
Hiccup correctly
Hiccup on the shoulder
After your baby has finished drinking, have him lie upright on his shoulder (at least 30 minutes) and gently pat his back until he burps
If it is a bottle-fed baby, parents should pay attention to the size of the nipple outlet when choosing a bottle to avoid flowing too fast and choking.
Hiccup your hand
Drag your baby's chin with your index finger and thumb, hold your baby's chest with the other three fingers, and then use your other hand to lift your baby up and sit on our knees.
One hand supports your baby's chest and head, and the other hand gently taps your baby's back to help the gas drain.
When burping, pay special attention to the road, should not be too heavy, should not be too light.
Eat fewer and more meals
Of course, when feeding, you should also pay attention not to feed too much at one time, you can feed a small amount in several times.
Here is a special reminder that if the baby chokes on milk, and only coughs gently, you can hold the baby horizontally, and then let the baby put his face to the side and help him pat his back; if the baby coughs very badly, you can let the baby lie on the leg, appropriately increase the strength of the back, let the milk flow out.
In short, if you just spit up your milk, mothers don't have to worry too much, this is normal. Usually, the frequency of spitting up before the age of 4 months is high, the highest incidence is about 61%, and it begins to decrease significantly after 6-7 months of age.
