Why does a child vomit in the middle of the night?

All mothers will have the same experience, that is, the baby will vomit in the middle of the night. The baby's body is not fully developed, and the human immune system function is not as good as that of adults. Therefore, if they are slightly exposed to cold, they are prone to colds, coughs, fever, etc., which are also the reasons for the baby's vomiting in the middle of the night. If the baby has these problems, some countermeasures should be taken in time to relieve the baby's discomfort. In normal diet, pay attention to moderation and suitability to ensure the baby's health.

1. If you find your baby vomiting in the middle of the night, parents should immediately make a preliminary judgment and take some effective measures. If the baby vomits in the middle of the night, the guardian needs to make a preliminary judgment first. For example, if the baby eats too much for dinner, the vomiting may be caused by indigestion. You can first wipe the baby with a warm towel, feed the baby an appropriate amount of warm water to prevent the baby from dehydration, and then let the baby take some effective children's digestive medicine. It is best to fast for about four to five hours after taking the medicine to let the baby's stomach and intestines rest for a while.

2. If the baby vomits due to severe coughing and wheezing, you can let the baby take some children's medicine to clear heat and relieve cough, and make appropriate adjustments to the diet. If the baby keeps coughing before vomiting, the reason for the baby's vomiting may be related to his severe coughing. You can try to let the baby take children's medicines such as Sunflower Brand Children's Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid. Before the baby fully recovers, try to let the baby drink less milk and eat some light liquid food in moderation. In addition, you need to pay attention to keeping the indoor air moist, free of dust, smoke and odor.

3. If the baby vomits in the middle of the night due to a gastrointestinal cold, parents need to keep the baby warm and adjust the baby's sleeping position. If your baby vomits during a cold and has abdominal pain and diarrhea, then the baby may have a gastrointestinal cold. You can let the baby sleep in a prone or side-lying position. Maintaining this position during vomiting can also prevent vomitus from being accidentally inhaled into the trachea. You should also keep the baby warm, give children's antipyretic and digestive medicines in appropriate amounts, and open windows for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh.

4. Pay attention to your baby’s eating habits to avoid vomiting due to inappropriate eating habits. If your baby vomits occasionally, it is recommended to make some adjustments to your baby's diet. First of all, the baby's diet should be regular, with small meals at regular times and places. Do not let the baby do strenuous exercise after meals. In addition, it is best not to feed the baby frequently when the baby wakes up and cries in the middle of the night. When the baby is sleeping, pay attention to keeping the baby's stomach and abdomen warm to prevent the baby from vomiting due to a cold stomach.

5. Adjust your baby's diet to prevent vomiting due to indigestion or stomach irritation. Usually, you should be careful not to let your baby eat greasy, spicy or irritating food, and try to eat less or no raw or cold food. Pay attention to the diet and don't let your baby eat cold food at one time and hot food at another. If your baby vomits or has no appetite in the middle of the night, you can let your baby eat some nutritious, light and easy-to-digest liquid or semi-liquid food in moderation the next day, and drink more warm water or warm fruit juice to replenish water.

6. Parents can prepare some delicious and nutritious medicinal meals for the baby according to the baby's condition. If your baby has symptoms of cold, cough or vomiting, you can make a steamed orange for him. Just wash the orange, cut off the top and put a small spoonful of salt on the orange flesh. Spread the salt evenly and poke the orange flesh with a knife to let the salt penetrate. Finally, steam the orange for about ten minutes. Rock sugar and snow pear also have the effect of relieving cough and nourishing the stomach. Just wash the snow pear, cut the top and dig out the core, add rock sugar and steam it for about half an hour.

7. Parents should also pay attention to the baby's emotions at all times to prevent the baby from vomiting due to bad mental state and mood. If the baby is in a bad mental state and often cries in the middle of the night, then the baby's vomiting may also be caused by excessive tension, anxiety or fright. Therefore, you must keep the baby in a good mental state. Even if the baby is disobedient, do not scare the child. In addition, it is not appropriate to feed the baby or milk immediately after the baby cries.

8. If your baby vomits after every meal and does not get better after taking medicine, it means that the condition is more serious. It is best to take your baby to a pediatric hospital to see a doctor for diagnosis as soon as possible. If the baby vomits frequently, parents should not blindly feed the child medicine without knowing the cause, otherwise the baby's condition may worsen. In addition, frequent vomiting and diarrhea may cause convulsions in the baby. It is best to take the baby to a regular pediatric hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible.
