Why does a one-year-old baby spit up milk?

What to do if your baby is nauseous and spits up milk

1. Since there are many diseases that cause nausea and vomiting, and nausea and vomiting is only one of the symptoms of the disease, strong antiemetic drugs that act on the vomiting center should not be used blindly before the cause is identified, otherwise the disease will be delayed. Only after the cause of vomiting is identified can necessary symptomatic treatment be carried out on the basis of actively treating the cause.

2. Pay attention to your diet, don’t eat too much, and try to eat small meals frequently. The diet should be regular, with three meals at regular times and regular amounts, and no overeating. Mainly vegetarian, with some meat options. Eat vegetables and fruits regularly to meet the body's needs and keep bowel movements smooth. Eat less irritating and difficult-to-digest food, such as spicy, sour, fried, dry, hard and sticky food. Also try to eat less raw and cold food.

3. Pay attention to temperature. The baby's stomach and intestines are weak, so it is very important to pay attention to the temperature. Especially in spring and autumn when the climate changes unpredictably, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid cold. If you have spleen deficiency and diarrhea, you can stick a warm navel plaster on the navel. At the same time, you should eat less raw and cold fruits and vegetables. If you feel cold in the stomach, you can take ginger tea in time.

4. Insist on participating in appropriate physical activities. Appropriate physical exercise can increase the baby's gastrointestinal function, strengthen gastrointestinal motility, increase the secretion of digestive juice, promote food digestion and absorption of nutrients, and improve the blood circulation of the gastrointestinal tract itself and promote its metabolism.

5. Before going to bed at night, you can lie on the bed and use your hands to massage the baby's upper and lower abdomen. This can help the spleen function, remove stagnation, and clear away foul air, and has a good health care effect on the spleen and stomach.
