The common causes of babies spitting up all the time are gastrointestinal dysfunction, swallowing a lot of air, immature pancreatic sphincter development, and digestive tract deformities.
1. Gastrointestinal dysfunction: babies spit up in a short period of time, mostly associated with improper feeding, abdominal cold, can give abdominal warmth, abdominal massage, adjust the diet and other symptomatic treatment.
2. Swallowing a lot of air: Babies are prone to swallowing a lot of air during breastfeeding, leading to abdominal distension and subsequent spitting up. After the baby eats milk, parents should burp sufficiently to promote abdominal air discharge and reduce spitting up.
3. Immature development of pancreatic sphincter: some babies have immature development of pancreatic sphincter, which leads to incomplete closure of pancreatic sphincter, and babies are prone to spitting up when they are full, or it is easier to spit up when the baby’s body position is changed. This situation can be gradually relieved as the baby develops.
4. digestive malformation: when the baby suffers from congenital pyloric hypertrophy, intestinal obstruction, intussusception, there will be a progressive aggravation of spitting up, and even affect the growth and development of the baby, should be timely surgical treatment.
In short, when the baby frequently spit up, should be timely pediatric consultation, clear cause, take targeted treatment.
