What should I do if my child keeps spitting up milk?

Spitting up milk is a common phenomenon. It is mainly caused by the child's common gastrointestinal underdevelopment and insufficient food intake, which leads to the immaturity of the stomach and intestines. Therefore, in daily life, to solve the problem of baby spitting up milk, you must feed the baby appropriately. The child eats quickly, so in daily life, when reducing the child's feeding, you must pay attention to some methods to reduce feeding in daily life.

There are also many main things that can be done. It is a waste of time to eat too many small meals frequently to reduce the stomach's tolerance. After each feeding, you can place the baby upright on the adult's shoulder and pat the back. Don't be too anxious or too fast. The opening of the bottle should not be too large.

Vomiting and regurgitation are very common symptoms in neonates.

The stomach capacity of a newborn is smaller, the esophagus is more relaxed, the stomach is in a horizontal position, the pyloric sphincter is well developed while the cardiac sphincter is poorly developed, the neural regulation function of intestinal peristalsis and the function of endocrine gastric acid and proteolytic enzymes are poor. All of the above physiological characteristics are the reasons why newborns are prone to vomiting. Intestinal

Vomiting in newborns can be physiological, such as a normal newborn may vomit 1-2 times a day; it may also be a manifestation of digestive dysfunction or gastrointestinal obstruction. Feeding too quickly, feeding too much or too little milk, frequently changing milk powder, adding complementary foods too early, crying for a long time before feeding, swallowing a large amount of air while feeding, patting the back with the baby upright after feeding, or changing the body position too much after feeding, such as changing diapers, etc. can all cause vomiting. However, if vomiting is frequent, or is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal distension, diarrhea, and fever, pathological conditions should be considered. The more common ones include gastroesophageal reflux, infection, pyloric spasm, etc., and if there is yellow bile-like substance in vomitus, surgical conditions should be considered.

Vomiting caused by improper feeding will improve after improving the feeding method and avoiding some of the influencing factors mentioned above. Newborns with gastroesophageal reflux should raise their heads 30 degrees in a prone position or 60 degrees in a supine position after feeding, and be fed small amounts of thicker milk powder. Metoclopramide and cisapride are currently used in clinical practice as drugs for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux, with certain therapeutic effects. However, if vomiting is frequent, and the vomit contains bile, blood or feces, or is accompanied by symptoms such as abdominal distension and fever, the patient should be sent to the hospital for further examination and treatment.

The above is what you should do if your baby always spit up milk. Don't let the baby lie down immediately. Feed the baby in small amounts and frequently to reduce the stomach's tolerance. Not after every feeding. You can let the baby lie upright on the adult's shoulder and pat his back. Don't be too anxious or too fast. It is also important not to let the baby get excited after feeding.
