Baby vomiting is a common concern among parents, and there are many reasons for it. Taking appropriate measures according to the causes of baby vomiting can be more effective in relieving and preventing baby vomiting, this article lists the 7 most common causes of baby vomiting as well as the corresponding measures you can take. 1, feeding problems caused by baby vomiting If the baby vomits in the first few months of life, it is likely to be caused by not very serious feeding problems, such as overfeeding, indigestion, or allergy to proteins in breast milk or formula. To determine whether your baby is vomiting or spitting up (which is also a common occurrence in babies), you just have to remember that when your baby spits up, only a very small amount of milk will run down your baby’s chin, whereas babies spit up much more liquid when they vomit. Also, the baby may be shocked by his or her vomiting and will more than likely cry. Solution: Burp your baby more often after feeding and feed a smaller amount at a time. Also, don’t let your baby move vigorously for half an hour after feeding and help him keep his body upright to aid digestion. You can hold your baby upright, or if you have an infant car seat or backpack at home, you can sit your baby in it. All these methods can relieve and prevent your baby from vomiting. 2. Gastroesophageal Reflux Causes Baby Vomiting If your baby is otherwise healthy but vomits immediately after eating, or vomiting occurs for no reason, then this is likely to be caused by gastroesophageal reflux. Be a good shopper and focus on formula and sales. If the muscles between your baby’s esophagus and stomach don’t work properly, causing the food in the stomach to back up into the throat, it causes GERD. Although your baby can’t express it, he may also feel a hard feeling in his abdomen or a burning or uncomfortable sensation in his throat and chest. The problem of GERD is likely to go away by the time your baby is a week old, because by then the muscles in your baby’s stomach and esophagus area have developed stronger and more powerful, and your baby is less likely to vomit. Solution: For very young babies, you can try to keep your baby in a semi-upright position for 30 minutes after eating. You can hold your baby upright or place him in an infant car seat or a backpack. If you have an infant car seat at home, your baby can also sleep in it in a semi-reclined position. Be a good shopper and focus on formula and sales. But remember: keeping your baby fully upright can put pressure on his stomach and make him vomit again. Also don’t turn your baby upside down on your lap immediately after he’s eaten, or let him be too active; that can also cause him to vomit. Some babies experience less GERD vomiting when lying on their stomachs (prone) or on their left side in a bed that is elevated at 30 degrees. However, seek medical advice before trying this method, as prone sleeping can increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), so you must carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of this method before deciding whether or not it can be used to solve your baby’s vomiting problem. If your baby’s GERD does not subside after he or she turns 1 year old, you should take him or her to the pediatrician. Persistent reflux vomiting can lead to weight loss, dehydration and other health problems, so your pediatrician may recommend surgery. 3. Gastrointestinal germs cause vomiting By the time your baby is a few months old, gastrointestinal germs are the most likely cause of vomiting, especially if your baby goes to daycare during the day or if you have older children at home who can bring new germs into the house. Be a good shopper and focus on formula and sales. You must insist that everyone in the house wash their hands thoroughly after going to the bathroom, or after changing the baby’s diaper, to prevent the spread of germs from spreading. Also try to make sure that your baby’s hands are as clean and hygienic as possible. When your baby is infected with gastrointestinal germs, in addition to vomiting, he or she may also experience diarrhea, loss of appetite and fever. Solution: When your baby vomits a lot, he or she loses the water that is vital for the body, so you must replenish your baby’s fluids in time to prevent dehydration, which may cause very serious problems for infants. Sleeping may also help to ease your baby’s vomiting, as the food in the stomach often vacates into the intestines while your baby sleeps, which can lessen the feeling of wanting to vomit. If your baby can roll over in the cot or usually prefers to sleep on his or her back, then your baby may feel more comfortable on his or her stomach than on his or her back. Be a good shopper and focus on formula and sales. If your baby can’t roll over yet, then you should put your baby to sleep on his or her back, as this reduces the risk of sudden infant death. If you feed your baby every few hours, but your baby vomits every time, then you should take your baby to the hospital, where he may need to be given fluids to prevent dehydration. 4.Cold or other respiratory infections cause your baby to vomit Nasal congestion respiratory infections may also cause your baby to vomit because your baby tends to get clogged up with snot creating a feeling of nausea. Solution: You should use a nasal aspirator to remove your baby’s snot and try not to build up mucus in your baby’s nasal passages. You can also ask your doctor if you are able to use medication for nasal congestion to reduce your baby’s secretion of snot. 5. Excessive crying or coughing causes your baby to vomit Excessive crying or coughing for too long may also make your baby gag and cause him or her to vomit. Solution: Although causing your baby to vomit due to prolonged crying can be unpleasant for both you and your baby, the fact is that it does not cause much harm to your baby’s body. If baby vomiting does happen, you just need to clean up your baby as soon as possible and put him/her back to bed. Be a good shopper and focus on formula and sales. Be careful not to make a big deal out of it, because if you soothe your baby too much after he vomits, this will make your baby feel like he can get you to be submissive to him by doing this. As long as your baby is otherwise healthy, you don’t have to worry about baby vomiting caused by crying. 6. Vomiting in babies caused by accidental ingestion of toxic substances Babies may also vomit because they have swallowed certain medicines, poisonous plants, herbs or chemicals. Solution: If you suspect that your baby has accidentally ingested a toxic substance, you should take your baby to the hospital immediately, remembering to always bring along the suspected food or medication and medicine bottles at the same time, and inform the doctor so that he or she can determine the nature of the toxic substance in time to give the baby the right treatment. 7, infection or serious illness caused by baby vomiting Occasional vomiting in babies may indicate that the baby’s respiratory system, urinary tract or ear infection. In rare cases, baby vomiting can even indicate pneumonia, meningitis or Reye’s syndrome. Find out how to tell if your baby’s vomiting is an indication of some serious illness. The solution: make sure you don’t ignore your baby’s vomiting in this case and take him to the doctor right away.
