Children often vomit after eating

Taking care of children is a rather hard job. What gives many parents a headache in the process of taking care of children is that their children do not eat well. Parents are worried that their children’s not eating will delay their growth and development. Therefore, they will think of many ways when getting their children to eat. Sometimes, the methods are not used properly and the children will vomit while eating. In this case, the children need to be properly cared for.

Correct your posture

When a baby vomits, after the vomiting is over, parents should first help the baby sit up in a correct and upright posture, with the head tilted to prevent the trachea from being occupied by vomitus and causing suffocation and coughing.

Rinse your mouth with warm water

After the baby stops vomiting, remember to rinse his mouth with water to clean it and avoid bad breath. If the baby is too young, parents can feed water several times to help clean the mouth.

Keep hydrated

Parents should give their babies more water and let them drink as much as possible without feeling nauseous, to ensure they get enough water and prevent dehydration and lack of water. Feed hot water in winter and boiled water in summer.

Be mindful of your diet

Your baby must pay attention to what he eats after vomiting. Never feed your baby too much food, just feed him until he is full. Pay attention to eating small meals frequently, and you can have four or five snacks a day. Avoid eating irritating foods, especially those that are too cold or spicy. Eat more liquid foods to soothe your stomach.

Pay attention

Parents should pay attention to observe every time the baby vomits to see if there are any commonalities and patterns in the baby's vomiting and the food vomited.

Bed rest

After vomiting, the baby must pay attention to rest more, avoid strenuous activities, avoid walking around, and avoid being exposed to wind. It is best for parents to let their baby rest in a side-lying position in bed.

Temporary fasting

Generally speaking, vomiting in babies is mostly caused by digestive system dysfunction. Therefore, after the baby vomits, parents can temporarily fast the baby to allow the stomach to have some free time and rest so that it is not overloaded. If your baby's condition improves after a few hours, you can resume feeding. If the condition does not improve, you can continue fasting and give liquid food.

Seek medical attention promptly

If the baby's condition is serious, cannot recover quickly but becomes worse, or is accompanied by other symptoms, parents should report the situation to the doctor in time so that the right medicine can be prescribed.
