Eight month old baby vomiting

Every change in the baby after birth is watched by the mother. Because many new mothers do not understand the baby's growth and development very well, sometimes their judgment of the baby's physical condition is not very accurate. From birth to adulthood, every day is very difficult for babies, and mothers worry about their babies growing up healthily. Many mothers report that their eight-month-old babies have symptoms of nausea and retching. Let's find out what's going on.

1. What happens if an eight-month-old baby suddenly vomits?

1. Milk overflow: The baby's stomach is in a horizontal position, the stomach muscles are not fully developed, and the cardia is relaxed. The baby swallows air while breastfeeding or feeding. A small amount of milk often overflows from the mouth after feeding. It is not pathological and has little effect on the baby.

2. Ordinary vomiting: There is often nausea before vomiting, which is a pathological condition.

3. Projectile vomiting: There is usually no nausea before vomiting, and a large amount of stomach contents suddenly gushes out through the mouth and sometimes from the nostrils. It can be seen in infants swallowing a large amount of air.

If the child still vomits after the feeding method has been adjusted, or the child has fever, irritability, convulsions, malnutrition, or frequent asthma and cough attacks, pathological vomiting should be considered and the child should be taken to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. What to do if your baby vomits

1. Feed appropriately: burp the baby more often after feeding and feed the baby less each time. In addition, do not let your baby move vigorously within half an hour after eating, and help him keep his body upright to aid digestion.

2. Replenish water for your baby in time: When your baby vomits a lot, he will lose water that is vital to the body, so you must replenish fluids for your baby in time to prevent dehydration, which may cause very serious problems for the baby.

3. Ensure your baby’s sleep: Sleeping may also help relieve your baby’s vomiting, because the food in the stomach will often be emptied into the intestines when the baby is sleeping, which can reduce the baby’s feeling of wanting to vomit.

4. Eliminate factors of digestive tract malformation: If the baby vomits milk right after birth, and the vomiting is severe, sometimes in the form of jets, you should go to the hospital for a thorough check-up.

The above shares with you what happened when an eight-month-old baby suddenly vomited. I believe you will have a certain understanding after reading it. If the baby's vomiting is severe, take the baby to the hospital for medical treatment in time. Do not delay the baby. The baby's own resistance is low, so delaying the treatment may cause other complications, which will be even worse.
