Why does a two-month-old baby retch? There are many reasons for the baby's dry retching, the main reasons are mostly related to improper feeding or eating, too much milk in the neonatal period, improper milk formula, swallowing a lot of air while feeding; eating too much at one time or food that is difficult to digest, etc. In addition, digestive dysfunction, systemic infectious diseases, if you suffer from upper respiratory tract infection, pharyngitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis, pneumonia and other diseases, or at the same time as high fever, nausea, and loss of appetite, are often accompanied by dry retching. Mothers should pay attention to their baby's mood, milk intake, complementary food intake, and bowel movements. If these aspects are normal, there is no need to worry too much. During normal feeding, make sure to give your baby warm water, keep the nipple hole full of milk when feeding, prevent your baby from inhaling too much air, feed your baby small meals frequently, and reduce your baby's exposure to cold and hot stimuli. After improving the feeding method, the baby's retching should improve. Such as pharyngitis, eating too fast, taste discomfort, abnormal gastric digestion function, etc. If the baby's phrenic nerve is not well developed, it is easy to be stimulated and cause dry retching.

I don't know what your child's stool characteristics are like and the specific feeding method. It is recommended that you feed your baby small meals during this period and pay attention to the stool condition. After feeding, the mother should gently hold the baby up, with the head resting on the mother's shoulder, and pat the baby's back to allow the air in the stomach to be expelled. If the milk regurgitation is caused by loose cardia and incomplete closure function, the baby should be held upright for one or two hours after feeding, and then put on the bed with the head slightly raised. As the muscles of the gastric cardia develop fully, the symptoms of milk regurgitation will gradually ease. The baby's gastrointestinal development is not good enough, mainly due to spleen deficiency and spleen-stomach disharmony. But don't worry, pay attention to keeping your child warm in the future: don't eat or eat less cold food. The weather is getting colder. While adhering to the principle of covering up in spring and keeping cold in autumn, always let your child wear a small vest to ensure that the vest will not catch cold.

From the above, you can understand why a two-month-old baby retches. In fact, parents do not need to be too nervous or worried about the problem of baby's dry retching. Although there are many reasons for the baby's dry retching, as long as the cause of the dry retching is found and the right medicine is prescribed, it will be fine soon. I wish you and your baby good health and happiness!
