The cardia function of children is not yet fully developed, so if they move vigorously or cough after feeding, they may vomit. Don't feed too much each time. After feeding, it is best to let the child lie on the adult's shoulder and pat the child's back with your hand to let the inhaled air escape. After feeding, when picking up and putting down the child, the movement should be gentle and the degree of movement should be small. Don't shake too much. Usually, you must pay attention to sleeping on your side and vomiting. You must turn sideways and lower your head as soon as possible to let the child vomit. If you don't have time to vomit from the mouth, it will come out of the nasal cavity. This is easy to choke the respiratory tract and cause aspiration pneumonia or even suffocation, which may lead to life-threatening. It will gradually get better after 4-6 months.

The milk powder that the child eats must be heated up. At the same time, eat small and frequent meals. Take some baby spleen-strengthening powder for a week and observe. The food should be light. If it is breast milk, the mother should also pay attention to it.

The stomach of a child is horizontal, with a straight bottom, and the contents are easy to overflow. After standing and walking, the diaphragm descends and gravity acts, and the baby gradually turns to a vertical position. In addition, the baby's stomach capacity is small, the stomach wall muscles and nerves are not yet mature, and the muscle tension is low, all of which are easy to cause milk overflow. The cardia (near the esophagus) sphincter of the baby's stomach is not as well developed as the pylorus (near the duodenum), making the stomach outlet tight and the entrance loose. When lying flat, the contents of the stomach are easy to flow back into the esophagus and overflow. Improper feeding methods, excessive feeding of babies, inverted nipples of mothers, or empty bottles, and the nipples are not full of milk, etc., can cause babies to swallow a lot of air and overflow. Frequent changes in body position after feeding can also easily cause milk overflow.
