Mothers may notice their babies spitting milk valves in their daily lives, which is caused by underdeveloped digestive systems in the intestines and may be due to improper care during feeding. So, what should I do if my baby spits milk?
You can keep the baby's upper body in a raised position. It is best to place a towel under the baby's body while keeping the upper body raised. If the baby vomits while lying down, you can turn the baby's head to one side. After vomiting, it is necessary to replenish the baby's fluids, but not immediately, as it may cause a second vomiting.
It is best to hold the baby upright after each feeding, and let the baby's head rest on the adult's shoulder. Slowly and gently pat the baby's back to help them exhale until they can release the bubbles in their stomach. This can to some extent avoid the occurrence of spitting milk after feeding. If a baby feeds too much at once, they may also experience the phenomenon of spitting out milk valves. By the time the baby is 6 months old, the occurrence of spitting out milk valves will be greatly reduced.
If a baby has the phenomenon of spitting out milk valves, parents should not worry too much. They should reduce it appropriately in daily feeding because the baby's digestive function is relatively weak. Mothers who breastfeed should pay attention to a light diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and maintain an optimistic attitude.
