Causes and suggestions for milk discharge from baby's nose

For newborn babies, breast milk plays an extremely important role because it can provide babies with a lot of nutrients and some antibodies to help them resist some foreign bacteria and viruses. However, many mothers will find that their babies sometimes spit up milk, and the milk comes out of their noses. Today I will introduce to you the reasons and suggestions for milk coming out of baby's nose.

Newborns are prone to vomiting because their stomachs are horizontal, with a loose opening and a tight exit, and the contents of the stomach will flow back out if you're not careful. So mothers should pay attention to:

1. Let the baby suck with the correct posture, that is, hold the mother's entire nipple, including the areola, so as to reduce the amount of air the baby inhales into the stomach. Do not breastfeed too quickly. If the milk supply is very sufficient, the mother should gently pinch the lower part of the main nipple to control the amount of milk, because if the baby swallows too quickly, he will swallow a lot of air at the same time, causing vomiting.

2. After feeding the baby, hold the baby upright, pat the baby's back gently, or gently stroke the baby's back from bottom to top to help the baby expel the air in the stomach (burp a few times) so that the baby will not vomit.

3. When putting the baby down, let the baby lie on his side. In this way, if the baby spit up milk, it will not flow back into the trachea and cause choking or even suffocation.

It is normal for children to spit up, so don't be too anxious. Try these methods first and they will generally get better. After the baby learns to sit, his stomach will slowly stand up and he will not spit up milk.

4. When breastfeeding, the entire nipple and most of the areola should be placed in the baby's mouth, rather than just the nipple. If you are feeding with a bottle, the rubber nipple should be full of milk and should not contain any air. If only the nipple is inserted without inserting the areola at the same time, or if the rubber nipple contains half milk and half air, the baby will easily inhale air while feeding. If too much air is inhaled, it will mix with milk in the stomach. When the gas is discharged upward (belching), the milk will be brought out together, causing vomiting.
