How to prevent baby from spitting up milk

1. When feeding, hold the baby up and do not feed him while he is asleep.

2. During feeding, you should pull out the nipple intermittently, let the child take a breath, adjust slightly, and then continue feeding; if breastfeeding, if there is a lot of breast milk, let the mother press the breast slightly to slow down the flow of milk, so that the child can suck and swallow. If it is bottle-feeding, the nipple must be filled with milk during feeding. Generally, the bottle should be tilted at more than 45 degrees. Never put the bottle flat. The nipple is half milk and half air. In this way, the child will eat a lot of air. After feeding, when the child is venting, it is easy to take out the milk.

3. Sleeping on the side reduces milk spillage and protects the baby's ears: Sleeping on the side is the best way to reduce milk spillage, which can reduce the chance of spitting up milk. Generally speaking, babies can maintain this side sleeping position for 2-3 hours. In addition, you should prepare a small towel, fold it into a triangle, and drape it from one ear of the baby to the other side, so that even if the baby spills milk, it will not dirty the pillow or flow into the ears.

4. Observe whether the child is full. Generally speaking, when the child is breastfeeding, he will automatically stop breastfeeding and look very comfortable. In addition, his mood and state are good and he will automatically release the nipple. At this time, the child is generally full.

5. Swimming once a day improves digestive function: Babies can exercise their entire body in the water, and water can also gently massage and touch the baby's body; in addition, swimming is also helpful for the development of the baby's digestive ability and can reduce the occurrence of regurgitation.

How to relieve baby's spitting up milk

The reason why newborns regurgitate milk is that the stomach of newborns is shallow and relatively horizontal compared to that of adults, so the contents of the esophagus and stomach will involuntarily flow back to the outside of the mouth, causing milk to flow out of the baby's mouth after feeding. This phenomenon is called regurgitation. If the baby is in good general condition, eats well, has good mental response, and does not have shortness of breath or cough, it is physiological and does not require special treatment. When regurgitating milk, you can let the baby lie flat with his head to one side to prevent the milk from refluxing into the airway and causing suffocation and pneumonia, and wipe off the spilled milk. Remember to hold the baby up after feeding, with his head lying on the mother's shoulder, and gently pat the back to promote the discharge of swallowed air, which can also reduce the occurrence of regurgitation or spitting up milk.
