What to do if your baby spits up milk like a fountain

The baby's every move concerns the parents. The younger the child, the more worried the parents are, because they cannot express their current situation in words. For example, some babies will vomit after drinking milk, and some even vomit like a fountain, which leaves parents helpless as they don't know what causes it. In fact, spitting up milk is a common occurrence in babies. So what should you do if your baby spits up milk like a fountain? Let’s talk about it below.

Too much air in the stomach

The baby must be held upright and burped after feeding. The burping time should be about 10 minutes after drinking milk.

2. Use the standing burping method

Step 1: Place a towel on your shoulders;

Step 2: Pick up your baby. Use one hand to support your baby's bottom and the other hand to hold your baby's neck so that your baby lies on you. Note: Since the neck of a newborn cannot be effectively supported, when you hold the baby, be sure to fully support the baby's head and neck with your palms. To hold the baby's neck, open your palm and use the base of your thumb as the center to support the baby's head, neck, and shoulders in order, and then support the baby's mouth with your arm.

Step 3: Lift the baby's buttocks up, lean the center of gravity forward, let the head rest on the towel on the shoulders, and slightly adjust the position of the towel.

Step 4: Arch your hands slightly so that your palms are in a bow shape.

Step 5: Start patting from the baby's belly button relative to the back, from bottom to top, and slowly pat out the air in the baby's body.

3. Tips for burping while doing posture

1. Pick up the baby - let the baby sit on your thighs, hold the baby's buttocks with your palms, support the baby's back with your arms, and let the baby's head rest in your arms.

2. Place a towel - open your palm and, with the base of your thumb as the center, wrap the towel around the baby's neck.

3. Make the baby's center of gravity lean forward, use the hand with the towel to support the baby's weight, and do the same with the other hand. Start patting the baby's belly button relative to the back, from bottom to top, and slowly pat out the air in the baby's body.
