Why does my child feel nauseous and retching in the morning?

It refers to the phenomenon of non-forced gastrointestinal secretions or gastric contents flowing out of the stomach or esophagus, usually without nausea or forced abdominal muscle contraction. Regurgitation can be physiological or caused by pathological reasons.

Physiological:

Infants a few weeks after birth may have milk (with or without milk lumps) in their mouths about 0.5 to 1 hour after they are promoted to the stage of spitting up. This is commonly known as "milk spitting up". The baby's appetite, sleep, spirit and weight gain are normal, and there is often no obvious cause. The condition stops naturally within 7 to 8 months without any treatment.

Pathological:

1. Feeding problems refer to "vomiting" caused by improper feeding techniques, such as incorrect posture during breastfeeding (such as poor connection between the nipple, areola and baby's mouth, nose close to the breast, incorrect lying position, etc.), too fast milk ejection, too much milk speed, the baby sucking and swallowing too fast, too much milk, inverted nipple, sucking difficulty, low milk temperature during artificial feeding, small nipple hole diameter or insufficient calories in the milk and insufficient feeding times, babies often have non-nutritive sucking resulting in a lot of odor in the stomach, not standing up to expel gas after feeding, not standing up to expel gas in the stomach after feeding, or giving the baby various care after feeding (changing diapers, bathing, feeding medicine, etc.), giving the baby solid food when the baby cannot chew, forcing the baby, especially premature babies, to eat, eating before or after crying, etc. can all cause problems.

2. Congenital esophageal obstruction is mostly diagnosed by X-ray examination.

The above is an introduction to why children feel nauseous and retching in the morning. Through understanding, we know that there are many reasons for this phenomenon.
