The baby eats too much and vomits, mainly because the baby's stomach is too narrow and the development is not completely stable. When feeding, a certain amount of air is introduced, so it is normal for babies to experience satiety and vomiting. So, if the baby is too full and vomiting, should they still be fed?
The baby's stomach presents a horizontal position, and the gastrointestinal function itself cannot be compared to adults. If the baby experiences symptoms of overeating and vomiting, mothers need to stop feeding to provide some relief to the baby's stomach. Feeding can only be carried out when the baby's gastrointestinal function has recovered. Although it is normal for babies to vomit after being full, there are also indirect reasons as follows:
Indigestive spitting: The baby's milk has a sour odor and contains undigested lumps. Baby's abdomen may also experience some bloating and reduced bowel movements, which requires attention.
Vomiting caused by brain diseases: When vomiting occurs, babies usually experience jet like vomiting, with varying frequency, accompanied by poor mental state, and in severe cases, coma or convulsions may occur.
Related to drastic changes in body position: If the baby's stomach is not fully developed, sudden lifting or lowering movements by mothers can cause the baby to vomit. In such cases, mothers must gently pat the baby's back after the baby is full, and wait until the baby burps.
