Wen Wen, who had just given birth to a child for two months, recently couldn't eat well, slept badly, and his mouth was foaming.
His own breast milk was barely enough for the child, but recently the child spit out a large mouthful of milk every time he finished drinking, and the child was hungry not long after vomiting.
As a result, her breast milk was not enough for the child to drink, the child was hungry and wow, and when she took it out, she found that her own child seemed to be a little thinner than a child of the same age.
When I went to babycare, the doctor also said that I should give the child more milk, and Wen Wen was so anxious.
Every time after feeding the child, she has a burp, why do she still spit up?
The child protection doctor said that it is a common phenomenon for children to spit up milk, as long as the vomiting is not too much, there is no need to worry too much, but after her child vomits, she does not have so much breast milk to supplement the child, so she is very anxious!
Wen Wen's confusion is actually the confusion of many mothers.
Most children will spit up before 5 months of age for three main reasons
Reason 1: The child's stomach is horizontal
When the child is not yet able to sit, his stomach is horizontal, unlike adults who are slightly inclined downward, the horizontal stomach is more likely to spit milk, just like our bottle, if lying flat, it can hold more than half of the water.
The child's stomach is already small, and the milk cannot be too much, and it will spit out if you drink too much.
Reason 2: The child's stomach is loose and tight
The child's stomach has two openings, followed by the cardia next to the esophagus and pylorus immediately following the duodenum.
The cardia of the little baby is looser, and the pylorus is tighter, so the milk stays in the stomach for a long time, and the stay time is long, in case the baby moves around again, it is easy to spit out from the mouth through the cardia and then through the esophagus.
Reason 3: The child's stomach capacity is relatively small
The child is a typical big eye and small belly, he needs a lot of nutrients, but his stomach can't hold so much, so he only drinks milk frequently, and sometimes he will vomit out when he drinks too much.
We recommend burping your child, that is, letting the child quickly expel the air that drinks into the stomach, so as to reduce spitting up.
However, burping alone is difficult to make the child spit up less frequently and in amount, and it is more important to pay attention to preventing 7 kinds of vomiting behaviors during feeding.
The child's spitting up is just hiccupping, and it is necessary to avoid 7 "vomiting" feeding methods, please collect it by the mother
Type 1: Feeding in a noisy environment
After the child reaches the full moon, his eyes can see 30 centimeters away, and his ears can hear a lot of sounds.
If the child is fed in a noisy environment, the child is easily distracted, and once the child is distracted and puts the nipple out of the mouth, it is easy to suck in the air, and it is easy to spit up milk when it is inhaled into the air.
【The right approach】
The environment in which your child feeds is as quiet and fixed as possible.
Type 2: Feeding your child when he cries
When the child drinks milk when crying, and drinks while crying, it is easy to inhale a large amount of air, and the air in the stomach will push the milk and cause vomiting.
【The right approach】
Let your child breastfeed in a quiet and pleasant situation.
Type 3: Let the child drink enough once before burping
This method of inducing vomiting is what many parents are doing, and they feel that they must let their children eat enough before burping.
【The right approach】
It is recommended that when breastfeeding your child, you should give him a burp after feeding the left breast milk, and then drink the right breast milk.
If the child burps from time to time, you can let him burp first, then let him continue to drink, and if you feed formula, you can burp your child at intervals of about 5 minutes.
That is, the child drinks milk once, and may have to stop twice to burp or so.
Type 4: Lying down to feed your child
This is what many breastfeeding mothers are used to doing, because when the child is young, in addition to eating and sleeping, most of the time is sleeping, the mother thinks that the child sleeps I also sleep, the child wakes up and wants to drink milk, I lie directly to the child to drink.
If a child who likes to spit milk is fed lying down, he will vomit more severely.
And lying down to feed, in case the mother falls asleep, there is also a risk that the child will be plugged by the breast, causing suffocation.
【The right approach】
Pick up your baby and breastfeed.
Type 5: Put the child to sleep after drinking milk
Many children fall asleep while drinking milk, and the mother puts him on the bed, which can easily cause the child to vomit milk when he falls asleep.
【The right approach】
Each time after drinking milk, hold the baby upright for about 20 minutes, of course, when the child is small, you must protect his spine and support his head and buttocks.
Type 6: After drinking milk, take the child to play hard
After the child drinks milk, his milk is still in the stomach, if the mother squeezes the child's abdomen when playing with the child, or when having fun, it is easy to cause the child to vomit milk.
【The right approach】
After drinking milk, read a book, talk to your child, and do static activities.
Type 7: Choose a pacifier for older children
Under normal circumstances, we recommend that when buying bottles for children, we should buy them according to the age of the child, for example, if the child is only two months old, do not give the child a one-year-old child's bottle.
Because the nipple hole on the bottle used by a one-year-old child is too large and the milk hole is too large, the child is not only easy to choke when drinking milk, but also easy to inhale a lot of air.
【The right approach】
Choose a bottle nipple suitable for your child's age group, and when feeding your child, tilt the bottle up 45 degrees to ensure that the nipple is filled with milk and there is no air.
Whether it is feeding or growing and developing, or daily safety, children need careful care from parents.
