Babies often spit up, and some even come out of their noses, which can scare moms and dads. In our WeChat group, there are often parents who ask, “What should I do if my baby spits up?” “My baby is also, eat as much as spit up.” Mothers once suspected that their own feeding methods are problematic, and even fear that the baby is not a disease? Today, I will talk to you in detail about those things that babies spit up. Why do babies spit up? “Spitting up is the most common phenomenon in infants. Because the baby’s stomach is in a horizontal position, and the cardia between the esophagus and the stomach is not mature, the cardia muscle is loose and does not close tightly, so the food in the stomach can easily return to the esophagus and spit out of the mouth. In addition to this physiological factor, there is another more common reason, which is that parents let their babies consume too much milk. Many mothers are always worried that their babies are not getting enough to eat, and keep letting their babies eat as long as they can, which can easily lead to babies spitting up. How to tell if your baby is consuming too much milk? If the baby spits out most or all of the milk after drinking it; the stools are very thin, more than 8 times a day. In such cases, if the baby’s mental state and weight growth are normal, parents need to consider whether the baby has consumed too much milk at one time. What should I do if my baby still spits up after burping? For babies who spit up, we will explain to the mom that she should remember to burp the baby after the baby has finished eating. Some moms say, “I burp my baby every time after he eats, but he still spits up, is he sick?” It’s possible that the parents didn’t do it the right way. Three correct ways to burp 1. Hold your baby upright on your chest with his head resting on your shoulder, hold your baby’s head and back with one hand, and gently pat him on the back with the other. 2.Sit your baby on your lap, support his chest and head with one hand, and pat his back with the other. 3. Lay your baby on your lap, hold his head slightly above his chest, and pat his back or gently stroke him in a circle. Every time you burp as much as possible to let the baby burp out, if a few minutes or no burp, parents do not have to worry, the baby is not always sure will burp. Parents can try each method at first and finally choose one that suits your baby. How can I help my baby reduce the frequency of spitting up and the amount of spitting up?
