What should I do if my two-month-old baby spits up milk severely?

Some babies have physical problems after birth, so it is necessary to take appropriate measures to treat them in time, so as to avoid dangerous situations that affect the baby's safety. Some babies even have problems with spitting up milk, so what should I do if a two-month-old baby spit up milk severely? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

It is common for babies of this age to spit up milk because their stomach is horizontal and has a small capacity. The cardia connecting to the esophagus is wide and has poor closing effect, and the pylorus connecting to the small intestine is tight. Babies often inhale air when feeding, and milk can easily flow back into the mouth, causing spitting up milk. When a mother sees her baby spitting up for the first time, she may be worried and at a loss as to what to do. In fact, as long as you pay attention to the following issues, you can prevent your baby from spitting up milk.

1. Adopt a suitable breastfeeding posture: try to hold the baby when feeding, so that the baby's body is tilted at about 45 degrees, and the milk in the stomach will naturally flow into the small intestine. This will reduce the chance of vomiting compared to feeding while lying down.

2. Be sure to let the baby burp after feeding: hold the baby upright against your shoulder, pat the baby's back gently, let him burp out the air inhaled into the stomach while sucking milk, then put the baby on the bed, this way it will be less likely to spit up milk.

3. It is not advisable to let the baby lie on his back immediately after feeding. Instead, he should lie on his side for a while and then change to lying on his back.

4. The amount of milk should not be too much and the intervals between feedings should not be too close.

After the baby spit up milk, if there are no other abnormalities, there is generally no need to worry about it. It will gradually get better and will not affect the baby's growth and development. The milk that the baby vomits may be in the shape of tofu dregs. This is the result of the reaction between milk and stomach acid. It is normal and there is no need to worry. However, if the baby vomits frequently and vomits yellow-green or coffee-colored liquid, or is accompanied by symptoms such as fever and diarrhea, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the baby has the above problems, then the baby needs to pay attention to take appropriate methods for treatment in time, so as to avoid dangerous situations for the baby, especially avoid problems with the baby’s diet, which will affect the baby’s development. Finally, I wish the baby healthy growth.
