How old does a baby have to be to stop spitting up milk?

In fact, nowadays babies need to pay special attention to their diet in daily life, so that they can stay healthy. However, babies will still spit up milk when drinking milk. So let us understand how old babies should be to stop spitting up milk.

1. The amount of food should be reduced appropriately. Babies who eat complementary foods should mainly eat noodle soup, rice soup, and rice noodles. Feed the baby in small amounts and multiple times. The baby must drink plenty of water (you can add some salt and sugar, but it is best to add salt, in case the baby is intolerant to sugar). This is very important. You can fry noodles or rice until they are slightly yellow, make noodle soup with the noodles and rice, and then feed the baby. The fried noodles are easy to digest, which is what we usually call "replenishing the stomach." You can also boil apple water, carrot water to drink, and steam apples to eat, which also have an antidiarrheal effect, because apples and carrots contain pectin that can promote the formation of stool. Avoid eating high-protein, high-fat, and polysaccharide foods, such as eggs, fish, meat, fried and greasy foods, cream, high-sugar beverages, snacks, etc., as well as vegetables, because the crude fiber in vegetables can aggravate diarrhea. Babies who are breastfed should reduce the amount of milk, and each nipple should eat the first half or one-third of the milk, because the milk in the first half contains more protein and is easy to digest, and the milk in the second half contains more fat, which is not easy for babies to digest. (I have personal experience. Every time I suck the nipple dry, she will have diarrhea again immediately. It works immediately. But if I only eat the first half, it won't happen. Now my baby is fine.) Mothers should not eat spicy and greasy foods. For babies who are artificially fed, milk powder can be replaced with soy milk powder without lactose added, which is suitable for babies during diarrhea.

2. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm to reduce intestinal peristalsis. You can wrap the abdomen with a towel or apply a hot water bottle to the abdomen. Make sure the baby gets more rest. Wash the buttocks with warm water after defecation to prevent diaper rash. The diapers should be cleaned, boiled and disinfected, and dried before use.

3. For children with wind-cold diarrhea or spleen-kidney yang deficiency diarrhea, you can fry the salt or heat it in a microwave, then wrap the hot salt with gauze and place it on the baby's navel for a hot compress for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, 2 to 3 times a day. Remember to keep the temperature moderate and be careful not to burn the baby's delicate skin. For children who usually eat too much meat and suffer from diarrhea, in addition to moderate diet, they can also boil hawthorn, drink water and eat hawthorn;

4. If the baby has severe diarrhea, frequent bowel movements, and significantly reduced urination, in order to prevent dehydration, pay attention to giving the baby oral rehydration. Add appropriate amounts of sugar and salt to boiled water to make a light sugar and salt solution to feed the baby, because the small intestine absorbs sugar and salt well, which can relieve dehydration. When giving your baby noodle soup or rice soup, just add salt, no need to add sugar. After rehydration, carefully observe the baby's urine volume to make sure it is about the same as usual.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the reasons why babies must be old to stop spitting up milk. I believe everyone has a preliminary understanding of it, so in daily life, don’t be too surprised about spitting up milk, and pay attention to keeping the baby warm.
