The main reason for infant spitting up milk and the treatment method for infant spitting up milk

Usually, many babies will spit up or spit up milk after eating. This is a normal phenomenon, but many mothers do not know the reasons for their babies' spitting up milk. So we need to understand the main reasons for babies' spitting up milk and how to deal with babies' spitting up milk.

The main reasons for babies to spit up milk

The reasons for infant milk spillage can be divided into physiological and pathological, as follows: 1. Physiological milk spillage is more common in infants under 3 months old. Most of them occur within half an hour of feeding, and a small number may occur 1-2 hours after feeding, but not every time they spill milk. The feeding frequency in 24 hours is 7-8 times, and the milk spillage may occur about 2-3 times. When the milk spills, the milk can be seen flowing out from the corners of the mouth. It is not jet-like, and the amount of milk spilled is not particularly large. The baby is in a good mental state, and the height and weight are within the normal range. Generally, no special treatment is required. When the baby is older, the milk spillage phenomenon will disappear naturally. 2. Pathological, most of them will spill milk half an hour after feeding, that is, they spit several times after feeding, and the amount of milk spit out is relatively large. The patient's mental state is relatively poor, sleep is not good, height and weight growth is slow, and even weight loss may occur. Parents need to pay attention to it and take it to the hospital as soon as possible to clarify the cause of the milk spillage, diagnose and treat it as soon as possible to avoid delaying the disease.

How to deal with baby spitting up milk

The stomach capacity of a newborn is relatively small and is in a horizontal position, so it is easy for milk to overflow after feeding. After overflowing, be sure to clean it up in time, and immediately let the child's head tilt to one side to facilitate the flow of milk from the mouth to avoid choking. If choking occurs, immediately pick up the child and pat his back. If the choking is serious, after preliminary cleaning, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment, and the doctor will determine the severity for further treatment. Usually when the child is in a supine position, the head should be tilted to one side, so that after overflowing, the milk will flow out from the corner of the mouth, and the risk of choking will be significantly reduced. Don't feed too much milk, eat small meals frequently, pay attention to the way and method when feeding, don't eat gas, and try to burp after feeding. Within half an hour after the child finishes feeding, there must be someone around him, and if overflowing occurs, it can be dealt with in time.

What to do if baby develops eczema where milk spills

First of all, spitting up and eczema should be viewed separately. Spitting up will not cause eczema, and eczema will not cause children to spit up. Spitting up is generally caused by poor digestion of children and incorrect feeding methods. When children drink milk, it is best to hold them up and let them drink. After drinking, they should not be put down immediately. They should be held upright so that they will burp. After burping, the spitting up of children will be reduced. For the treatment of children's eczema, the cause of eczema must be found first. It is related to the dampness of the place where the child sleeps. The parts where children like to have eczema are usually the buttocks or chin of the child. For the treatment of eczema, if it is severe, some ointment needs to be applied to the affected part of the child, and the child's skin should be kept dry. Parents can choose to apply some talcum powder to the child, because talcum powder has the effect of keeping dryness, so after applying it to the child, eczema will not continue to develop.

Is it normal for babies to spit up milk?

Spitting up milk is generally caused by pyloric stenosis in newborns, and the junction between the stomach and the esophagus is relatively loose. When the stomach moves strongly, the milk in the stomach flows back from the esophagus and is vomited out of the mouth, forming vomiting. The above symptoms are considered to be caused by indigestion. It is recommended not to let the baby eat too much every time, burp the baby after feeding, and adults should avoid the child from turning over and moving around significantly. Breastfeeding mothers should avoid eating cold and gas-producing foods. Observe the child's stool. When the digestion is not good, there will be milk curds in the stool. Spitting up milk will be significantly improved after the child is 6 months old.
