Why is the baby's spit-up a bit sticky? Will the baby's spit-up cause pneumonia?

It is normal for babies to spit up milk, because the stomach of babies who have just been born is very fragile. Eating too much will cause spitting up milk. However, there are many reasons for babies to spit up milk. So we need to understand why babies spit up milk that is a bit sticky. Can babies spit up milk cause pneumonia?

Infant spitting up is a common condition, mainly due to the poor development of the baby's intestinal digestion and absorption ability, too small stomach capacity and too much milk. It is recommended that infants use breastfeeding to promote intestinal digestion and absorption and increase the speed of intestinal development. Generally, after feeding, try to hold the baby upright on the shoulder and gently pat the back to promote the discharge of gas in the stomach, which can effectively reduce the problem of sticky spitting up. During this stage, parents should try to adjust the diet and reduce the intake of raw and cold foods. Eating more easily digestible foods is helpful to relieve the baby's intestinal pressure. As the baby grows, spitting up will become less and less, so parents should not worry too much.

Generally, infant spitting up is not considered pneumonia, and the chance of causing pneumonia is also very small. Because the stomach of newborns or young infants is in a horizontal position, the pylorus is tightly closed, the cardia is relatively loose, and the gastrointestinal function is relatively weak, so spitting up is normal. If the baby does not have a fever, cough, or shortness of breath, but only vomits, then it means that it is not pneumonia. This mainly depends on the specific situation of each baby. There are many reasons for spitting up milk, which may be related to systemic diseases or gastrointestinal diseases. If the baby has a significant weight loss or coughs while spitting up milk due to spitting up milk, and the vomit is brown or green, and the spitting up milk spray length reaches 70-80 cm, parents should pay attention to it, because the baby may have a certain disease. Another possibility is that the baby spit up milk physiologically, mainly because of the baby's stomach structure, which causes the baby to spit up milk. There is no need to worry about this situation, and it will naturally improve when the baby is older. Another reason is that the baby eats too much, and the baby lies flat immediately after eating milk, which is an important factor leading to spitting up milk. Parents should remember to burp their baby after feeding to prevent the baby from spitting up milk.

Avoid the child from eating too much and feeding some boiled water appropriately, which will help relieve the symptoms. You can pat the child's back. The baby's stomach capacity is small. The stomach of a newborn baby is only the size of a grape. The baby needs to be fed at irregular intervals all day long to meet the development needs. The newborn baby changes every day. You can imagine how fast they grow, so the small stomach naturally cannot meet the baby's normal needs.
