What is the cause of the child vomiting milk?

Breast milk is the first choice for female friends because it can provide babies with nutrition that formula cannot. Some new mothers find that their children vomit milk after feeding. In fact, it is very common for babies to vomit milk when they are young. Here, I will tell parents what causes children to vomit milk and how to take care of children who vomit milk so that they can grow up healthily.

It is very common for children to vomit up milk. The physiological situation usually refers to newborns. Their stomachs, viewed from the front, are lying horizontally and are in an unstable state. At the same time, the cardia, which is the entrance to the stomach, is relatively loose. When adults eat, after food enters the stomach, the cardia will contract to prevent food from flowing back into the esophagus; but because the cardia of infants' stomach cannot contract well, milk that enters the stomach can flow back into the esophagus more easily.

The chance of a baby vomiting milk by the time he is about 3 years old is very low, and vomiting milk at this time is mostly caused by illness. May be a symptom of systemic or gastrointestinal disease. If your baby loses weight rapidly due to vomiting, or coughs while vomiting, these may be signs of a disease. If the baby vomits milk and feels very uncomfortable, it is very likely that the esophagus is inflamed, and parents need to take the baby to the hospital for treatment in time.

If a child vomits milk, parents must take good care of the child. First of all, they must keep the child's upper body elevated. Once vomitus enters the trachea, it may cause suffocation. Therefore, when letting your child lie down, it is best to put a bath towel under the child's body and keep the upper body elevated. If the child vomits while lying down, we can turn the child's face to one side.

Then after the child vomits milk, you should pay more attention to observe the child's condition. When the child is lying down, you should raise the child's head, or simply hold the child upright. After vomiting up milk, the child may look pale, but it is fine as long as he recovers later. In addition, depending on the situation, you can give your child some water, but the water replenishment should be done 30 minutes after vomiting. After your baby vomits milk, you should wait until he recovers before feeding him or her.
