Infants usually stop spitting up milk after a few months. What is the reason for the baby's spitting up blood?

It is normal for babies to spit up milk. Generally, they will stop spitting up milk when they grow up. However, some babies spit up bloody milk, which is a serious problem. So we need to know how many months it usually takes for babies to stop spitting up milk? What is the reason for babies to spit up bloody milk?

When a baby is just born, the stomach is not well developed and is kept in a horizontal state, so the milk that the baby eats may spill out, making it look like the baby is spitting up milk. Spitting up milk is a physiological phenomenon caused by the developmental characteristics of the baby's stomach. However, as the baby grows, the baby's organs are developing rapidly, and the baby's spitting up milk will stop as the stomach develops and improves. Generally speaking, babies will stop spitting up milk about three months after birth, and the spitting up milk will stop automatically. However, some babies may not spit up milk at this stage. At this time, you need to be particularly vigilant. This situation may be caused by problems with the baby. For example, intussusception, intestinal obstruction, or gastroenteritis can easily cause the baby to spit up milk after three months. If the baby still spits up milk frequently after more than three months, it is necessary to consider that it is caused by pathological factors, and you need to take the baby to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment immediately.

1. If the mother's nipples are cracked and bleeding, the baby will vomit blood in the milk after swallowing the breast milk with blood in it.

2. Severe vomiting of the baby may cause tearing of the gastroesophageal mucosa, which may also lead to blood in the vomited milk.

3. Gastrointestinal bleeding in newborns. It is common during childbirth that the baby swallows the bloody secretions from the mother's vagina, which stimulates the baby to vomit blood; or the baby's gastrointestinal inflammation and coagulation function, platelet abnormalities, lead to gastrointestinal bleeding; or the baby's congenital gastrointestinal malformation, such as diverticulum, intestinal malrotation, leads to vomiting blood.

Therefore, if the mother does not have cracked and bleeding nipples, and the child repeatedly vomits milk with blood, she should go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the cause and then receive relevant treatment.

For younger children, spitting up is a normal phenomenon, not because of eating too much, especially for children after one month old. When they are three months old, spitting up is very easy. Some children spit up very badly, even spraying out of their noses, which makes parents nervous. Of course, when children spit up, parents should quickly put their children in a prone position, or stand up, or at least in a side-lying position to avoid aspiration. Because at this time, the amount of milk consumed by children suddenly increases, their digestive system is not yet fully developed, and too much milk suddenly remains in the stomach. After the child finishes eating, if the parents do not pay attention to holding them up and patting their backs, it is easy for them to spit up. This situation will generally improve after more than three months when the child is older. Some children are hungry for a long time, and suddenly eat a lot of food in a short period of time, and eat quickly, and swallow too much air, so they are easy to spit out. Some children cry while eating, and they are also prone to swallowing a lot of air when sobbing, which can also cause spitting up. If the child vomits up milk, is in poor spirits or vomits too frequently, and is accompanied by a fever, crying and being restless, or the child is always hunched over, you must go to the hospital for treatment to rule out related diseases such as acute abdomen, acute gastroenteritis, intracranial infection, etc.

If your baby loves to spit up milk, it does not mean that he has pneumonia. Generally, pneumonia in children has different degrees of symptoms, such as fever, shortness of breath, cough, respiratory inflammation, etc., which are mainly caused by the infection process of pathogens. It is recommended to do a specific examination to confirm the diagnosis. The baby's love of spitting up milk may be caused by physiological reasons. In this case, you should observe more. If the baby does not have obvious discomfort, it means that it is caused by physiological reasons. You should take measures to burp the baby after feeding, and the baby should not eat too much.
