It is common for babies to vomit milk, but the causes are different. Usually, bloating, gastrointestinal disorders, or inhaling too much air while breastfeeding are the main causes of vomiting in babies. Targeted relief is necessary to effectively avoid this situation. So, what should eight month old babies do if they vomit at night?
Firstly, when the baby vomits, it is necessary to adopt a lateral position, with the baby's face tilted to one side, mainly to prevent vomit from choking into the trachea. It is also necessary to regularly feed water to clean the mouth, and to ensure water supply by drinking small amounts and frequently, in order to prevent excessive dehydration and dehydration. At the same time, closely observe the specific cause of vomiting.
Secondly, the occurrence of vomiting in babies is often related to gastrointestinal discomfort. At this time, you can massage the baby's abdomen and apply a hot water bag to the abdomen. Try to let the baby rest in bed as much as possible, and avoid constantly changing the baby's posture, which can easily cause vomiting again. Do not immediately breastfeed your baby. A brief fast is more beneficial for recovery.
Usually, the most common cause of vomiting in children is digestive disorders, so the purpose of fasting is also to give the gastrointestinal tract a resting process. If a baby is breastfed, it is usually because the milk is sufficient and the baby inhales a lot of air while breastfeeding. Therefore, it is necessary to burp the baby at the end of feeding to greatly avoid this situation.
