Presumably many parents have encountered such a situation:
The milk your baby just drank spits out after a while.
The baby spits up milk, and the whole family is like a big enemy,
Maybe it's because in our perception,
Vomiting is a very scary thing.
Because vomiting means that there may be gastrointestinal problems.
But does the child's spitting up mean that the child is sick?
01. Why does the baby spit up milk?
➊ Physiological spitting up
For babies under 1 year of age,
Spitting up milk is quite normal,
2-4 months of age peaks,
The incidence was 86.9% at 2 months of age,
About 50%-60% of infants aged 3~4 months of age vomit milk,
7.6% at 12 months of age,
Most infants resolve spontaneously after 12 to 14 months of age,
This is related to the baby's immature digestive system and eating.
➋ Pathological spitting up
If your baby is spitting up milk at the same time,
There are also poor spirits, poor breastfeeding,
Accompanied by various manifestations such as bloating, diarrhea, fever, and crying and restlessness,
Seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Because serious diseases such as intestinal obstruction, intussusception, and intestinal atresia can manifest as vomiting milk.
02. How to deal with baby spitting up?
Finding the baby spitting up,
Don't rush to pick up your baby who is spitting up,
This may allow choking milk to enter your baby's lungs.
Baby should lie on his or her side or face to the side,
Drain the reflux milk out of the mouth,
After your baby stops spitting up,
Pick it up again and pat your baby on the back.
Don't panic when you encounter your baby spitting up,
Ask yourself three questions:
Does the baby show any signs of discomfort?
Are there other symptoms?
Is growth lagging?
If there is no discomfort,
No other symptoms,
good growth and development,
Eat well and sleep well,
This physiological spitting up does not have to worry,
Go get your baby dressed.
What conditions require medical attention
(1) Ejected vomiting;
(2) Decreased urine output;
(3) slow or stagnant weight gain;
(4) Crying and poor spirits;
(5) Spit out yellow-green, brown, and red vomit;
(6) Fever, diarrhea, bloody stools.
03. How to prevent babies from spitting up?
➊ After feeding, hold the baby upright for 15~30 minutes, do not immediately tease the baby to play;
➋ Feeding lying unevenly, as much as possible in a semi-recumbent position;
➌ Shorten breastfeeding time, do not feed when the baby is extremely hungry;
➍The amount of milk should not be too much each time, and it can be a small number of times;
❺ Elevate the upper body and let the baby sleep on his back, which can prevent suffocation caused by spitting up milk after falling asleep.
Be a "happy" spitting baby:
That is, the baby shows good weight gain, no pain when spitting up, and less crying (normal healthy babies cry for an average of 2 hours a day),
This is physiological gastroesophageal reflux,
"Happy" spitting up means that the reflux of milk is not bothering the baby,
The amount of milk your baby spits out is usually "excess",
It generally does not cause insufficient intake.
At this point, parents need not worry.
