There are many reasons for babies to vomit, both physiological and psychological factors. When this symptom occurs, parents can refer to the treatment method below.
. Adjust the baby's position
If the baby vomits while standing or sitting, parents can lean forward to help the baby vomit more easily. If the baby is lying and vomiting, parents can keep the baby lying on his side, or turn his head to one side to prevent the baby from inhaling vomit.
2. Pay attention to cleaning the baby's nasal cavity or oral cavity
After the baby vomits, a small amount of vomit may remain in the baby's mouth and nasal cavity. At this time, parents need to clean the foreign objects as soon as possible to keep the baby's respiratory tract unobstructed. When cleaning the nasal cavity, parents can wipe it with a baby-specific cotton swab, while residues in the mouth can be dipped in wet gauze or rinsed with warm water to help keep the mouth clean and remove odor.
3. Observe the baby's condition
If the baby vomits, parents should always pay attention to the baby's various signs, such as mental state, body temperature, urination and defecation, and whether there are other discomfort symptoms. When asking the doctor for advice, you can inform the doctor of the symptoms for reference.
4. Eat less and eat more
After the baby vomits, parents should not rush to feed the baby. At this time, the baby's stomach motility has not yet responded. Feeding rashly will cause the baby to continue vomiting. In fact, even if you vomit and don’t eat for a day, it will not cause serious consequences to the baby. So parents don’t need to be too anxious.
Generally speaking, what should I do after vomiting? Generally speaking, let the baby pause for 1 to 2 hours, and after the child recovers, feed the baby with a portion of 20ml to 30ml at a time. Parents can ask the child to hold who he should first and then swallow it slowly. For breastfeeding babies, the principle of small amounts and multiple times is also followed.
For babies who can already eat complementary foods, it is best to feed the baby on the 2nd to 3rd day of vomiting. When the baby does not have obvious symptoms of vomiting, it is best not to eat seafood, greasy or irritating foods for the time being.
5. Replenish replenishing salt in time after vomiting
If the baby vomits a lot, parents can take the baby three generations of replenishing salt (ORS-III) to prevent and correct dehydration.
If the baby is dehydrated due to vomiting, such as having no urine for 6 to 8 hours, and is accompanied by poor mental health, dry lips, etc., you need to take rehydration salt for the baby, which can help the baby prevent and correct the symptoms of dehydration.
rehydration salt still follows the principle of "eat less and eat more" and estimate the amount of water in the vomit, and then replenish the baby with the corresponding rehydration salt.
6. Do not take antiemetic medicines easily
Generally speaking, it is not recommended to take antiemetic medicines to your baby. This type of medicine has great side effects on the baby and is not conducive to finding the real cause of the baby's vomiting. Generally, after controlling your diet, the baby's vomiting symptoms will be relieved within two days.
