Why does the child vomit after eating milk?

The birth of a baby makes the mother who has just given birth busy again. The newborn needs extra care and feeding. Among them, breastfeeding is the healthiest, most nutritious and most acceptable feeding method for the baby's stomach and intestines. However, many problems may also occur during the feeding process, such as vomiting or vomiting blood. This article briefly introduces the causes and treatment methods of children's spitting up.

It is very common for babies to spit up milk after feeding. Mothers are used to it after spitting up once or twice. When the baby vomits once or twice after each feeding or vomits frequently, the mother will become worried. What are the reasons for this?

First, the occurrence of this situation is related to individual differences of babies. Some babies are prone to vomiting after feeding because their throat and gastrointestinal functions are immature, or they feed too quickly.

Second, especially for babies around eight months old, when they are not used to adding complementary foods, it will have a certain impact on the gastrointestinal function, so they are also prone to vomiting after feeding;

Third, if the baby is bottle-fed, vomiting is likely to occur due to the large hole of the nipple, uneven mixing of milk powder, overeating, etc.

Fourth, lying down immediately after feeding, crying, getting excited, or shaking the body randomly are all likely to cause symptoms of spitting up.

Therefore, when the baby spit up milk after feeding, it is necessary to find out the cause in time and treat it accordingly to help improve the condition.

How to deal with spitting up during feeding

Sitting breastfeeding method : I believe that first-time mothers have not yet mastered the skills when breastfeeding for the first time, and it is generally easy to fail in the first breastfeeding. In order to avoid failure in breastfeeding for the first time, mothers must first of all achieve the correct sitting posture. When sitting on a stool, be sure to lean back on the chair. The back can be tilted back a little, close to the back of the chair for comfort. Then hold the baby diagonally in your arms, and use the other hand to hold up the breast to feed the baby, so as to achieve the purpose of successful breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding method in bed : The expectant mother can use a pillow, lean back slightly against the head of the bed, and then lean her back against the pillow to make both the expectant mother and the baby feel comfortable. The expectant mother can then lie on her back or side and feed the baby face to face. The baby can lie on the side of the expectant mother to feed. This posture can be used for breastfeeding for expectant mothers who cannot walk after giving birth or who have had a caesarean section.

In addition, no matter what posture you adopt, the most important thing is that both you and your baby feel comfortable. This will help you relax your body and mind and is more conducive to the secretion of milk. Secondly, the expectant mother and the baby are closely connected. No matter how the baby is held, the baby's body should face the expectant mother, and the body should be in a straight line. The baby should be close to the mother's body, and the head and shoulders should be facing the expectant mother's breasts. The mouth should be open to hold the expectant mother's nipple including the entire areola. This will help the baby to suck milk smoothly. Finally, it is worth noting that: many first-time mothers do not know how to breastfeed and are afraid that milk will not come out, so they use the scissor-like finger method to clamp their breasts. This will only affect most of the areola in the baby's mouth, thereby affecting the discharge of milk. It is best to choose to use a thumb and four fingers placed above and below the expectant mother. In this way, the entire breast can be lifted up for successful breastfeeding. The baby will be happy to eat, and the mother will be relieved.
