It can be said that all babies have experienced choking, but many times there is no major situation, so the mothers do not think about it. In fact, although choking is very common, but there is a difference between serious and minor, once the situation is serious, the same can be life-threatening baby. This kind of news report is really not a few: therefore, for baby choking thing, first of all, parents must pay attention to it. The following misconceptions when dealing with choking situations are also something that parents need to be alert to.
The actual fact is that you will be able to get a lot more than just a couple of hours to get a lot more than just a couple of hours. Many new parents in the baby choking, the first reaction is to hurry to hold up ta lean on the shoulder pat, think it is the same as burping, the milk fear out will be fine. But in fact, this is not right and can even be very dangerous! Because the baby’s nervous system has just developed, some reflexes are still very weak, when the baby chokes, if parents still hold them upright, then these secretions, or milk is not only not easy to be coughed out, but easily into deeper parts, which will only lead to choking and coughing more serious. So, when your baby is choking, don’t hold him or her upright. Many people will think that they need to burp after spitting up and choking, but in fact they have a misunderstanding of the practice of burping. Burping is only a way to prevent spitting up, not a way to deal with it. Whether it’s spitting up or choking, the practice of burping (holding the back vertically and patting it) after it happens just won’t work, and it may cause the above mentioned choking and coughing to get worse. The first thing you need to do is to look for the cause and solve it.
The first thing to do when choking occurs?
When a baby chokes, parents are very nervous and panicked, they are at their wits’ end. If you learn more about how to deal with choking, you will be able to deal with the situation without confusion and calmly, which is also excellent for your baby!
Mild state.
1.Lay flat quickly and turn your face to the side
After choking occurs, parents should quickly lay the baby’s body flat and turn his head to the side to avoid spitting backward into the throat and trachea.
2. Pat the baby’s back with your hand
The palm of your hand is slightly nestled in a hollow palm, then pat the baby’s back with a little force, causing the baby’s body to vibrate, so that it can spit out the choked liquid. Also pay attention to the timely cleaning of its oral foreign bodies.
Severe state.
Symptoms: Baby keeps struggling, lips or face is blue, and breathing is difficult. This means that the vomit may have entered the trachea.
Practice: At this time, you should immediately lay him/her prone on the adult’s lap or hard bed and pat the back 4-5 times to make the baby cough and drain the milk from the trachea.
If it is still ineffective, immediately pinch or pinch the baby’s sole to make him cry due to pain, so as to increase breathing and avoid lack of oxygen.
If the above treatment is not effective, you should immediately send to the nearest hospital for resuscitation.
Second, correct breastfeeding, avoid choking is the key!
To avoid choking, first of all, of course, to reduce the situation of baby spitting up, then, parents must pay attention to.
1, master the timing of breastfeeding
(1) not in the baby crying or laughing when breastfeeding;
(2) Do not wait until the baby is very hungry to feed, because the baby is too eager to eat easily choking and coughing;
(3) The child should not be forced to feed again, especially children who often vomit, eat eight minutes full is enough, may be “eat less and more”, force feeding is prone to accidents.
2. Don’t let your baby lie on his back to eat milk
Especially at night, you can’t fall asleep to feed your baby, you should lie on your back in your mother’s arms (upper body 30~45 degrees). When bottle-feeding a baby who is artificially fed, do not let the baby lie down and suck the bottle, because the nipple aperture is larger and choking is more likely to occur.
3. Pay attention to the speed and amount of breastfeeding
(1) If the mother has more milk, use your fingers to hold the breast or nipple to control the speed of milk;
(2) The nipple hole for manual breastfeeding should not be too large, and the milk should flow out in drops rather than in lines when you pour it over;
(3) The baby should be fed for about 20 minutes at a time, preferably not more than 30 minutes.
4.Don’t let your baby lie down immediately after breastfeeding
After feeding, you should let your baby sit up, or walk around with your baby in your arms, and gently pat his back to help him expel gas from his stomach, and it is best to hear burping.
Regardless of the reason for spitting up, the best position for a baby who spits up frequently after feeding should be lying on a mattress with a 15-30 degree slope (not just with the head elevated) and with the body lying on the semi-right side.
5. Pay attention to the way of making milk powder
Do not shake the bottle vigorously to avoid bubbles that may cause frequent burping and spitting up. Shake the bottle evenly with your wrist, hold the bottle in the middle and upper part of your hand, and shake the bottom of the bottle in the same direction to make it rotate on the horizontal plane.
6.Check your baby’s condition regularly
After the baby has slept, the mother should guard the baby for a period of time and check the baby regularly to see if there is any spitting up, abnormal breathing and facial color, etc.
