Why is my seven month old baby vomiting?

The health of the baby has always been a topic of concern to parents. The health of the baby is a major issue related to the future development of the family. Therefore, parents are also worried about some small abnormal reactions of the baby. They are especially worried that the baby will show symptoms of some disease. For example, vomiting in a seven-month-old baby is a serious phenomenon. So, what is the matter with a seven-month-old baby vomiting? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

The main causes of vomiting in newborns are:

1. Pyloric hypertrophy and stenosis The pylorus is the exit of the stomach and a "checkpoint" leading to the intestines. Due to the abnormal thickening, hypertrophy and edema of the pyloric muscle, the "checkpoint" leading to the intestine can only be opened very small, preventing food in the stomach from entering the intestine smoothly. The stomach wall muscles contract strongly, creating great resistance for food to enter the intestines, so it refluxes out of the mouth. Newborns with congenital pyloric hypertrophic stenosis are normal after birth, and occasionally spit up a few mouthfuls of milk after feeding. But after about ten days, the number of vomiting increased day by day, and the amount of milk vomited also increased.

2. Intestinal obstruction Intestinal stenosis and intestinal atresia in the neonatal period cause intestinal obstruction, which is a serious disease. The effectiveness of treatment is largely determined by early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment, and the key to early detection is to recognize the manifestations of the disease. For newborns suffering from the above diseases, the intestines stop during fetal development due to certain factors, causing intestinal obstruction. The baby starts vomiting one day after birth, and the vomiting becomes more and more severe. The baby may vomit saliva, milk curds, yellow-green bile, intestinal fluid, or even stool-like substances. The child's general condition deteriorates, with no meconium discharge, or only a small amount of meconium, or bluish-gray mucus-like discharge. If the deformity is located high, the abdomen may not be bloated, otherwise bloating may occur.

From the above introduction, the vomiting of a seven-month-old baby is caused by a gastrointestinal disease in the baby. At this time, parents should check whether the baby has diarrhea. If so, they should take the baby for examination and treatment in time so that the baby's body can recover as soon as possible and will not affect the baby's growth and development.
