How to deal with baby spitting up milk from nose and mouth

Most parents will encounter spitting up every time they feed their baby. Some babies will spit into their noses and mouths, which may choke the baby. Therefore, this situation must be controlled. You can choose to change to a better feeding method, which can prevent spitting up. Also, don't feed too anxiously. If you feed too quickly, it will cause the baby to spit up while drinking milk.

Treatment measures :

First , don't let your baby eat too quickly when breastfeeding. You can use a scissors-like breastfeeding method to press a few breast milk ducts, which will slow down the milk flow and prevent the baby from eating too quickly.

Second , you can stop breastfeeding and pat your baby’s back during feeding, because some babies have a lot of gas in their stomachs, which makes the baby uncomfortable and leads to vomiting a lot of milk. It is important to burp the baby after feeding. Use your hollow palm to pat the baby's back and vibrate gently, which will make the baby feel very comfortable. Some children will spit up milk 20 minutes or half an hour after feeding. Such children need to be burped one, two or even three times after feeding. Burping once may not be completely effective. If the child does not burp well and burps endlessly, the child will feel tired. The child will usually twist his body vigorously, his face will turn red, and he will use his upper limbs to exert force. If you pick up the child in time at this time, the child will usually burp loudly.

Third , when the child spit up milk, parents must turn the child's body to the side in time, so that the milk in the child's mouth can flow out from the corners of the mouth as soon as possible. If the child is lying on his back, after spitting up milk, there will be residual milk in his mouth while you are wiping it. If the child breathes at this time, it is easy for the milk to be breathed into the lungs. The child should be placed on his side and then cleaned up. There should be no harm to the child.

Fourth , observe whether the child is full. Generally speaking, when the child is breastfeeding, he will automatically stop breastfeeding and look very comfortable. In addition, his mood and state are good and he will automatically release the nipple. At this time, the child is generally full.

Fifth , observe how long it takes for the baby to feel hungry. If the baby becomes hungry again about two and a half to three hours after feeding, it means that the baby got enough food for the first feeding.

Sixth , one criterion for seeing whether a child is full from milk is the child's weight gain. If the weight gain is good and normal, it means the child has enough milk. As for your child, his weight is already over the standard, so there is probably no problem of insufficient milk.

Seventh , in addition, for children who are overweight like this, be careful not to use breastfeeding to coax the child. The child will cry and wake up at night. At this time, the mother can immediately put the nipple into the child's mouth and the child will stop crying immediately. In this case, he will suck milk by conditioned reflex, but he may not be hungry at this time. This type of baby has a relatively short interval between feedings. Don't feed the baby as soon as he cries or moves. It is easy to overfeed him, so your child's weight will be slightly higher.
