In the ward, it is often seen that young parents burp their children after feeding, hiccups or spill milk, spit milk badly, they are very confused, why do children spit up milk after taking a milk burp? What went wrong?
【Women's and Children's Health Science】
Wang Xinping, department of obstetrics and gynecology of the Women's and Children's Center of Beijing Children's Hospital, said that in general, after the birth of newborns, most of them will have milk leakage, because the baby will swallow some air when feeding. Although this phenomenon occurs in both breastfed and artificially fed babies, it is more common in artificially fed babies, and the air partially swallowed by the baby is discharged by hiccups. Therefore, "hiccups" has become an "essential skill" for new parents. If the posture, position and force of the hiccup are incorrect when the novice parents pat, the position and force of the hiccup will lead to the situation of throwing up more and more during the more you shoot.
In fact, burping the baby, in addition to allowing the child to discharge the gas swallowed in the stomach, reduce the situation of spitting up milk and milk spillage, but also help to soothe the child's emotions, so after the end of the child's feeding, it should be hiccuped, and the gas swallowed into the stomach when eating is photographed. Next, two common hiccup methods are introduced: one is upright and the other is sitting upright.
The first is the upright hiccup method. First, spread a saliva towel on the mother's shoulder in case the baby spits up the milk in time. Then the baby stands upright, lying on the mother's shoulder, the mother's body leans back slightly, the baby's head is biased towards the mother, the mother's arm gently supports the child's ass, with the other palm in a hollow shape, gently pat the baby's upper back, burp during the process of observing the child's expression changes.
The second is the sit-down hiccup method. Let the baby sit on the mother's lap, one of the mother's hands reaches under the baby's armpit to stabilize the entire body, let the baby's jaw against the mother's wrist, pay attention not to affect the baby's breathing, and then let his upper body lean forward slightly, the mother's other hand palm is hollow and gently pat the baby's upper back, and pay attention to observing the child's expression change during the hiccup process.
It should be noted that breastfed babies do not need to burp after each milk, nor will they burp out every time they burp; but artificially fed babies need to burp after each milk; if the baby is asleep during feeding, let the baby lie down and rest.
In addition, some babies have milk spills and chokes milk because the parents' feeding methods are not correct, so it is particularly important to master the feeding interval and feeding posture. For infants, breastfeeding is on-demand breastfeeding, artificial feeding milk powder can be fed on time, and the baby should try to avoid feeding again when the baby is hungry and anxious. In the process of feeding, parents try to keep the baby's body tilted upwards by 30-45 ° and let the head be slightly higher than the stomach, which can effectively avoid milk leakage.
