As we all know, it is very common for babies to vomit milk. However, although it is very common, as long as the baby vomits milk, especially when the baby vomits milk, parents will feel very distressed and wish they can bear these discomforts on behalf of the baby.
Why is it so easy for babies to vomit?
First, the baby's stomach is parallel, which is more likely to cause vomiting.
Many of us don’t understand that the baby’s stomach is different from that of adults. The adult’s stomach is vertical and stands up, making the baby’s stomach horizontal. This structure itself is more likely to cause vomiting.
In addition, the baby's stomach is not well developed, and the entrance (cardia) of is very loose, which causes it to shrink well. Instead, the outlet is tight, which becomes a situation that is easy to enter but not out.
When there is air in the baby's stomach, after the baby eats milk, the baby always lie flat again, so the milk is easily flowing back from the entrance of the stomach.
Secondly, the baby's stomach capacity is relatively small and his digestive ability is also poor.
When the baby is just born, the functions of various organs of the body are not very complete, and the gastrointestinal function is the same. The various digestive enzymes in the stomach are relatively low in activity and their digestive ability is not strong. It is more likely to be bloating caused by indigestion of lactose and protein.
, and the baby's stomach capacity is relatively small. A month-old baby only has an egg-sized stomach capacity, which can hold about 80 to 150ml of milk.
When the stomach capacity is relatively small and the digestive capacity is not strong, the baby will easily become full and vomit after eating a little more.
Third, the feeding method is wrong.
Although it is easy to cause bloating due to the low enzyme activity of the baby, many of the baby's gases are actually caused by the fact that the feeding details are not done properly, but the correct method is not used to help the baby exhaust , resulting in more air in the baby's stomach and intestines, increasing the chance of the baby vomiting.
In this regard, no matter who it is, they will tell new parents that after feeding the baby, they should burp the baby to help the baby excrete excess air in the stomach and intestines, reduce the baby's vomiting, intestinal flatulence , etc.
In fact, in addition to hiccups, there are seven details to pay attention to.
①Don’t feed your baby when he cries.
If the baby is breastfeeding when he is crying, the baby will inhale more air because of crying and consuming breast milk, resulting in more air in the stomach and intestines.
Don’t feed your baby when it’s very hungry. If the baby is too hungry, it will be more anxious when it’s breastfeeding and will inhale a lot of air .
This will make the baby more likely to vomit, so don't feed the baby when he is crying or when his baby is very hungry.
If the baby is crying, you can coax the baby first and then feed it.
②The feeding posture should be correct.
When feeding the baby, you should also pay attention to the correct posture, so that the baby can better connect to . Whether you are using cross-type or cradle-type breastfeeding when breastfeeding, must ensure that the baby can hold most of the breast/halo and avoid inhaling more air while breastfeeding.
Milk powder baby should pay attention to the angle when feeding. When feeding, keep the baby's upper body upright and the pacifier filled with milk to prevent the baby from drinking the air.
③The size of the pacifier should be appropriate
The pacifier is too big, and the baby will easily choke on milk if he doesn't have time to swallow. However, if the pacifier is too small, it will not be easy for the baby to drink milk and eat air, so the size of the pacifier should be appropriate.
The model of pacifier is generally divided into:
SS, suitable for babies with 0 to 1 month old
S, suitable for babies with 1 to 3 months old
M, suitable for babies with 3 to 6 months old
L, suitable for babies with 6 months or more
M, just choose according to the baby's age.
or can be judged based on the flow of milk. Parents only need to put the bottle upside down. If milk can be dripped down drop by drop, it means that the size of the pacifier is appropriate.
④Baby sleeping with milk should also burp
Some babies sleep with milk, but babies sleeping with milk should also burp to help the baby excrete the air.
If you can't burp it out, then hug the baby or html vertically for about 620 minutes before putting the baby on the bed to sleep.
If the baby has the habit of vomiting frequently, when putting the baby in bed to sleep, you should let the baby lie on his side for a while first.
⑤ Change diapers first and then feed
When the baby needs to change diapers and feed them at the same time, you can change diapers first and then feed them, so that you can avoid changing diapers after feeding, causing the baby to vomit.
Of course, if the demand for breastfeeding is greater than the demand for diapers, you can feed the baby first, but after feeding it, you need to 15~30html for 6 minutes before changing the diapers for the baby.
⑥Don’t let the baby eat too much
Because the baby’s stomach capacity is relatively small, do not feed the baby frequently, and do not let the baby eat too much, otherwise it will easily cause the baby to vomit.
⑦Don’t exercise after taking milk
Baby should rest for a while before exercising after taking milk, such as bathing, touching, etc. Even if you play with your baby, you should be gentle to avoid the baby’s more intense activities.
Although it is common for babies to vomit, it is not a good thing after all. Parents can do it more carefully, so that the baby will live a better life.
And, when the baby grows up day by day, especially when the baby can stand up, or even just the upper body can stand up, the baby's vomiting can be greatly relieved.
