Why does the baby retch after feeding?

A baby is the apple of a family's eye and is more important than anything else. Babies need meticulous care because they are so young, but they still have small problems, such as retching after feeding, and such problems always happen to many babies, always causing their parents to worry and anxiety. A small problem will cause parents to worry and panic. So, why do babies retch after feeding? Today, we will help young parents understand this issue.

1. Why do you dry heave?

It is recommended to pat the baby's back to burp him/her during and after feeding to help him/her expel the air in his/her stomach. If the symptoms do not improve, you should seek medical attention.

2. What should I do if my baby often retches?

Young babies often vomit or regurgitate milk. When feeding them, avoid letting them drink too quickly or let them swallow a lot of air at the same time. After feeding, hold them upright and burp them. If you retch frequently, you should go to the hospital to check whether it is due to other diseases. The cardia function of children is not yet fully developed, so if they move vigorously or cough after feeding, they may vomit. Don't feed too much each time. After feeding, it is best to let the child lie on the adult's shoulder and pat the child's back with your hand to let the inhaled air escape. After feeding, when picking up and putting down the child, the movement should be gentle and the degree of movement should be small. Don't shake too much. Usually, you must pay attention to sleeping on your side and vomiting. You must turn sideways and lower your head as soon as possible to let the child vomit. If you don't have time to vomit from the mouth, it will come out of the nasal cavity. This is easy to choke the respiratory tract and cause aspiration pneumonia or even suffocation, which may lead to life-threatening. It will gradually get better after 4-6 months.

Therefore, when the baby retches after feeding, parents must remain calm. Only by staying calm can they find the fastest and most effective solution.
