When a baby's body, such as fever or stomach irritation, can cause vomiting. So what should parents do when a 19 month old baby vomits?
1. Prevent the backflow of vomit
If the baby vomits, in order to prevent the vomit from flowing back into the esophagus, parents should have the baby sit up and turn their head to one side so that the vomit can be vomited as soon as possible.
2. Clean the mouth
After the baby vomits, there may still be residual vomit in the mouth. Parents can use a clean towel to wipe the baby's mouth clean, or ask the baby to rinse their mouth with warm water to remove the residue.
3. Feed water
If the baby vomits severely, it is easy for dehydration to occur, so parents can give the baby more warm water to ensure the body needs it.
4. Light diet
After the baby vomits, the diet should be as light as possible, especially avoiding some greasy food, which can stimulate the stomach and make the vomiting serious. You can choose to cook some millet porridge for the baby.
5. Pay attention to keeping warm
It is also easy for babies to vomit when they catch a cold. If there is a hot water bottle at home, parents can use it to apply hot compress to the abdomen, but they need to be careful to keep the clothes between them, otherwise it will burn the baby.
6. Bed rest
After the baby vomits, parents should let the baby rest in bed more often and try not to change the baby's position during rest, otherwise it is easy for vomiting to occur again.
