Why does my child vomit after drinking milk powder?

Raising a child is not an easy task, and a mother alone may not be able to do it. If there is a child at home, the whole family must work together to take care of him. What's more, some mothers do not have breast milk to feed their children, so they feed their babies milk powder. But the quality of milk powder varies a lot nowadays. Sometimes babies vomit after eating milk powder. What is going on?

After the baby finishes feeding, you must hold him upright and burp him. Try to reduce activity after feeding. If the baby spit up milk, you can raise the upper body. If he still spit up, you can lie on the right side and then change the position after 1 to 2 hours. Because the baby's stomach and throat are not yet fully developed, vomiting is likely to occur. Parents need to pay attention to the mental and physical condition of their children after spitting up. After the baby's spitting up has been relieved, if the child still shows symptoms such as lack of energy, sleeping too long or unable to fall asleep, emotional distress, crying loudly, or fever and bloating, it means that the spitting up is pathological spitting up and the child needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible.

What to do if your baby refuses to eat milk powder

1. Choose a suitable pacifier: Although no matter how good the pacifier is, the feeling will still be different from drinking mother’s milk, you can choose a pacifier that is closer. Another suggestion is to boil the nipple for a while to soften it, and the baby may be more accepting of it.

2. See if the baby doesn’t like the pacifier or the taste of milk powder: try to express breast milk and put it in a bottle for the baby. If he accepts it, he may not like the taste of milk powder. You can try a brand that tastes closer to breast milk. You can also try making the milk powder a little lighter or colder or hotter.

I don’t know if you understand the answer above. There are many behaviors of children that we don’t know about, so we must be responsible for our children and be responsible parents, so that our family can be more complete and our children can grow up healthier and happier!
