There are many reasons for babies to retch and cough, the main reasons are related to improper feeding or eating:

method

Neonatal feeding too much, improper milk formula, swallowing large amounts of air while feeding; infants and young children eating too much at one time or food that is difficult to digest.

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, loss of appetite, often accompanied by dry retching.

Developmental problems: Due to the functional defects of the lower esophageal sphincter, gastric juice or bile flows back into the esophagus, causing dry retching. For some babies, this may last for several months and then gradually improve.

If your baby has dry retching, it is recommended to give him more warm water, change the types of food, and try to eat light and easily digestible complementary foods.

When bottle-feeding, the hole in the nipple should be of the right size and the nipple must be filled with milk to prevent the baby from inhaling air. If the baby is teething, you can use a nipple with larger holes to drink milk to reduce the pain caused by sucking.

After feeding, the baby should be gently picked up, with his head resting on the mother's shoulder, and the baby's back should be patted gently to allow the air in the stomach to be expelled. Do not change the baby's position frequently after feeding, change the diaper before feeding, and do not change the diaper for the time being after feeding.
