What are the reasons for baby spitting up milk? How to deal with baby spitting up milk

I just finished feeding my baby, and not long after, I found that he spit up milk. What happened? What should I do if my baby spit up milk?

The most common reason for a baby to spit up is due to indigestion, such as a cold abdomen or improper feeding, which can cause indigestion and spit up. Some babies spit up because they suffer from acute gastroenteritis, or it may be caused by protein intolerance or lactose intolerance. If the baby has symptoms of spitting up, during this period, you must pay more attention to keeping warm, avoid catching a cold abdomen, avoid the baby's movements too much, and prevent severe crying, which can prevent the symptoms of spitting up from worsening. Then you need to register for a regular hospital pediatrics. After a detailed examination, the specific cause can be clarified, and scientific and standardized treatment can be given. During this period, parents must not use other medicines for the baby at will, and avoid using folk remedies indiscriminately to prevent serious consequences caused by improper treatment. The baby should also pay more attention to rest.

If your child spits up frequently, you can take the following measures.

First of all, we should adopt the feeding method of feeding in small amounts and multiple times. Some children spit up milk because they are fed too much milk at once or too quickly. After changing to the feeding method of feeding in small amounts and multiple times, the spitting up of children can be significantly improved.

Secondly, the child should be given a gastrointestinal radiography in time. If the child's vomiting is very stubborn and progressively worsens, and the child's weight gain is also very slow, in this case, a gastrointestinal radiography should be performed to rule out whether the child has a gastrointestinal malformation.

If a child has a digestive tract malformation, he or she should be taken to a surgical department for surgery in a timely manner. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fundamentally solve the child's vomiting.

Parents should stop feeding their babies. After the baby has just vomited, the baby may have gastrointestinal discomfort or stomach discomfort. If the baby continues to be fed, it may cause indigestion or stomach discomfort. The child may vomit milk because of air in the stomach or too much milk. After the baby has vomited milk, the mother can give the baby some water to relieve the discomfort. The baby can also be massaged to relieve the stomach discomfort. At the same time, pay more attention to the warmth of the baby's stomach.

If your baby spits up milk in a jet-like manner, it is not normal spitting up milk, and the mother should take the baby to the hospital immediately. Projectile vomiting means that the milk in the baby's mouth is sprayed out violently, such as from one end of the room to the other. This may indicate that the baby has pyloric stenosis, which is a thickening of the muscles at the end of the stomach that prevents food from passing through and entering the small intestine.

If the baby's stomach is cold, it is easy to have diarrhea or spit up milk. Parents should take good care of the baby. You can give the baby a hot compress on the stomach, massage a few times, and eat more warm food, which can effectively relieve the spitting up caused by cold. If the baby's spitting up milk still does not improve and is accompanied by abnormal symptoms, go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
