Hello everyone, I'm Red Red.
Have you ever had a baby spit up with a new baby? In this regard, Honghong is deeply experienced, thinking that when the child vomited all over his face, Honghong still remembers it vividly, so that every time he finishes feeding, he is scared, and even the mother-in-law, who has always been calm, is often caught off guard.
Moreover, the child is not just spitting up milk, he is spitting out for a while, the milk spit out is sticky, there is a clear sour smell, the child is also crying badly, that time, Honghong ran to the hospital for three days, and the familiar doctor saw Honghong, and he was greeted by a sentence: "Why are you here again?" ”
Under the continuous learning and trial of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the baby stopped spitting up milk at 5 months, and now that I think about it, it was really a gray day, fortunately, with the help of the mother-in-law, otherwise Honghong would have to cry her nose.
So, let's find out why the new baby spits up?
Let's start with a few common reasons:
Physiological causes
The stomachs of older children and adults are vertical, while new babies are not, their stomachs are horizontal; in addition, the stomach of newborn babies has another feature: cardia is loose, and the pylorus is tight, that is, the entrance is loose.
Such a physiological structure is like putting a bottle of water on the ground without a bottle cap, if you are not careful, the water will overflow, and the new baby will accidentally spit up after eating milk, which is the truth.
Take in the air
If adults are in a hurry to eat and eat too fast, it is easy to swallow the air together, and it will be very uncomfortable if they do not spit out the air, but if they encounter such a situation, they usually just need to burp.
In fact, the same is true for new babies, but new babies are less likely to burp spontaneously, and they often spit out air with the milk belt.
Improper care
Many people will find that if you change your diapers or do limb exercises after your baby has finished feeding, it is easy for your baby to spit up. Honghong used to think that the child will pee when he is full, if he does not change it in time, the child will be uncomfortable, and as a result, almost every time the child will spit up milk.
After running to the hospital a few times, Honghong knew these causes of spitting up, and found the corresponding treatment: first change the diapers and then feed, to avoid the child from vomiting after eating; when breastfeeding, let the child contain deeper, leave no gaps, avoid inhaling air, even if the bottle is used, be sure to fill the suction mouth with milk; hiccup; pay attention to diet.
The others are fine, usually pay attention to a little better, the most difficult is to burp. When I first learned to burp, Honghong would not exert her strength, but also to take care of protecting the child, and to shoot hiccups, often half an hour has not been shot out, can only change the mother-in-law relay race, from half an hour to 3 minutes, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law took nearly a week to grasp the essentials.
Here is a note when burping: let the baby's head rest on the shoulder of the adult, because the child is soft, the adult needs to give him external support strength, while protecting the head and neck and the back of the waist, while tapping the baby's chest position with a hollow palm, the strength is not too large, generally as long as you hear a "burp", the air will come out.
If the child is more than 3 months old, then the child's neck has the strength to lift up, you can also try to let the child's arms in front, lying on the slightly harder bed, generally as long as 2-3 minutes will burp themselves, the red family children are hiccups after 3 months, rarely specifically burp him.
Under normal circumstances, the milk vomited by the baby does not have bile, no gastric juice, there will be no other odor, and the baby itself has limited milk, and the amount of milk spit out will not be too much. However, if the baby spits out milk that smells sour and squirts when spitting up, the baby will be very painful. Then, parents must pay attention to it, seek medical treatment in time, and find out the cause.
This is the case when the Red Family child is 4 months old, no matter day or night, the child is difficult to bring, the stomach is hard, there is a sour taste in the mouth, and the spit milk also has a sour taste.
Go to the hospital, the doctor said, the red family children have a poor spleen and stomach, weak digestion and absorption capacity, a little cold stomach, usually do more baby touch, hand and foot exercises, rub the small belly, pay attention to the small belly to keep warm, but also to take some bifidobacteria to help digestion. The doctor also repeatedly explained to Honghong: Do not eat cold, sensitive foods, such as watermelon, cold drinks, pineapples, and mangoes.
The doctor said that because the baby's spleen and stomach are delicate, they respond quickly to external stimuli, and because they are still in the whole breast milk period, there is indeed a "milk" saying, usually children with poor spleen and stomach, as long as the mother eats cold and other foods, the child will be affected at the first time.
Honghong reflected a little, that time was just the hottest time in the summer, Honghong did eat some watermelon, did not expect, actually reflected in the child, blamed himself, after adjusting the diet, the child did not have these situations again.
There is also one biggest doubt about children spitting up: Will every child spit up milk?
The answer is: not necessarily, some children do not spit milk, such as my sister's second treasure.
It's an angel baby in the true sense of the word: eat night milk once during the month, sleep all night after the confinement, and the key is: never spit up milk.
When Honghong took the child back, every time she burped the child, my sister asked me curiously: "If you shoot the child like this, will he be uncomfortable?" "My sister, who has never taken a hiccup, will not understand that there is a baby who loves to spit up milk, and hiccup is a necessary skill."
Honghong had specifically observed this worry-free girl, and many times she burped herself after eating milk, and sometimes she burped just after eating.
Doctor friends said that children with a good spleen and stomach and never had a peculiar smell in their mouths do not have high requirements for hiccups, because they can quickly spit out air, their resistance is good in all aspects, and the situation of spitting up milk is relatively small.
Of course, there are also individual differences in children, some do not spit up milk, if encountered, parents will steal the fun!
