Four seas network: newborn spitting is a very common phenomenon, but for novice mothers, as the enemy, helpless. How is newborn spitting milk after all to return a responsibility?
What's the matter with newborn's spitting
There are physiological and pathological reasons for newborn's vomiting. The baby's stomach capacity is small, the tension of esophageal muscle is low, and the food is easy to spit out. It may also be caused by cold and constipation, feeding posture is not right, feeding too fast, adding auxiliary food too early, etc. is also a serious cause of neonatal vomiting.
1. Physiological reasons
The stomach of a baby is not as vertical as that of an older child or an adult, but in a horizontal position. This will make the stomach smaller and store less food. In addition, because the tension of the baby's esophageal muscle is relatively low, the cardia is relatively loose, and the closure is not tight, so it is easy to break out of the door by food, resulting in vomiting
When the baby grows up a little bit, the function of neural regulation of gastric prolapse and intestinal peristalsis, and the function of endocrine gastric acid and proteolytic enzyme gradually increase, so that the baby will not be able to spit.
2. Pathological reasons
Cold, bacterial infection, constipation, pylorus stenosis, esophageal atresia, intestinal atresia, intestinal malrotation, congenital megacolon, etc., will cause abnormal vomiting of baby.
3. Improper feeding and nursing
Improper feeding posture, too fast feeding, too much milk or too short interval between meals; too much turning of the baby during feeding; adding auxiliary food too early; too large mouth of the nipple when feeding with a bottle, resulting in too fast outflow of milk, too late to swallow, etc. all these improper feeding will cause Baobao to spit out milk.
When the baby is 6 months old, not only can he master the sucking skills well, but also the development of gastrointestinal function is relatively mature, and the number of times of sucking is significantly reduced. But the newborn often spits, the mothers must distinguish is the physiological reason, the pathological reason or oneself feeds the improper reason, thus decides how to solve the baby to spit the milk the worry. Under normal circumstances of spitting, parents do not have to worry, only the baby weight gain normal, good mental state on the line.
How to nurse the newborn
Generally speaking, the baby starts to spit milk when he is half a month old. Generally, it is the most serious when he is two months old. After three months old, the number of times of spitting milk is slowly reduced, and the phenomenon of spitting milk is rare when he is half a year old. Some newborns spit out too much milk, the baby will spit out the extra weight, and some of them bring out the milk when the air in their stomach is exhausted.
1. Keep your upper body up
Once vomitus enters trachea, it will cause suffocation. Therefore, it's best to put the bath towel under the child's body and keep the upper body elevated when the child lies down. If the baby is vomiting while lying down, we can turn the baby's face to one side.
2. After spitting, pay more attention to observe the condition of children
When the child lies down, the head of the child should be padded up, or simply hold the child upright. After spitting, the child's face may be bad, but as long as it can recover later, it will be OK. In addition, according to the situation can be appropriate to add some water to the child.
3. Rehydration should be done 30 minutes after vomiting
After the baby spits out milk, if you immediately add water to the baby, it may cause vomiting again. Therefore, it is best to try to give the child some white water with a spoon a little bit about 30 minutes after vomiting.
4. After spitting, the amount of milk to be fed each time should be reduced to half of the normal amount
When the baby recovers and wants to eat milk, we can give the baby some more milk. But every time the amount of milk to be reduced to about half of the usual, but the number of times can be increased. During the period of continuous vomiting, we can only feed the baby milk, not other food, including complementary food.
5. Newborn spits milk out of nose
Parents should take good care of the baby, try to avoid the baby's spitting out of the nose. If the milk comes out of the nose, they should also hold the baby up in time, clean the baby's nose, and let the baby breathe freely.
How to prevent newborn from spitting
1. 45 & deg.
Try to pick up the baby for feeding, let the baby's body be in a 45 & deg; inclined state, and the milk in the stomach will naturally flow into the small intestine, which will reduce the chance of vomiting compared with lying down for feeding.
2. Clap your baby's back.
Let the baby burp after feeding. The best way to prevent the newborn from spitting is to help the baby burp. Hold the baby upright and lean on the shoulder, pat the baby on the back, let him discharge the air in his stomach together when sucking through burping, and then put the baby on the bed, so it is not easy to spit milk.
Sometimes no matter how the baby claps, the baby still doesn't come out. Parents don't need to worry. They usually hold the baby for half an hour first, then put the baby on the small bed, lie on the side first, and then lie flat.
3. Lie on your side for a while.
It is not suitable to let the baby lie on his back immediately after feeding, which is easy to cause the baby to spit milk. When lying on his back, the milk is easy to come out of the nose. At this time, if the parents do not help the baby to clean up the nasal cavity in time, it is easy to cause the baby not to breathe, resulting in dangerous things. After finishing the milk, the newborn should lie on his side for a while, and then change to supine.
4. The amount of milk should be moderate.
The feeding amount should not be too much and the interval should not be too dense.
