What is the reason for dry heaving in a one-month-old baby?

Dry retching in babies has always been a common problem, and generally one-month-old babies are most likely to experience dry retching. Many mothers think that they have not fed their children any inappropriate food, but the baby still has the phenomenon of dry heaving, which confuses many mothers. So what is the reason for dry heaving in one-month-old babies? Let me give you a detailed introduction below, and I hope you can gain something from it.

Neonatal feeding: excessive feeding, improper milk formula, swallowing of large amounts of air while feeding; infants and young children eating large amounts 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.

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

2. 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.

3. After feeding, the baby should be gently picked up, with the 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.

The above is an introduction to some reasons why babies retch. When babies have retching, mothers must give their babies more warm water. Do not drink water that is too hot or too cold, otherwise it will irritate the baby's stomach. In addition, the phenomenon of dry retching is still very common, so mothers must pay attention to this, otherwise it will also affect the baby's digestion.
