Sometimes babies may vomit while drinking milk, or shortly after drinking milk, which looks very uncomfortable. Many parents say that their babies also experience vomiting while breastfeeding. Sometimes they will continue drinking after vomiting, and sometimes they will become lethargic after vomiting. So, what's wrong with a 20 day old baby experiencing vomiting while breastfeeding?
1、 Indigestion
A 20 day old baby is too young and their digestive system has not fully developed, so they may feel nauseous while breastfeeding, which may be caused by indigestion. Parents are advised not to feed their babies too much at once and to give them sufficient digestion time. If vomiting is severe, it is necessary to see a doctor and seek their advice for treatment.
2、 Improper feeding method
Some parents have no experience in breastfeeding, and sometimes the posture of holding the baby is incorrect. During breastfeeding, the baby will feel uncomfortable and the milk will be vomited out shortly after drinking. Parents must choose a suitable breastfeeding position so that the baby can drink milk properly and burp the baby more after feeding. In addition, within half an hour after the baby finishes drinking milk, avoid letting him engage in strenuous activities.
3、 Gastritis or enteritis
Gastritis and enteritis can also cause infants to vomit while breastfeeding. Parents should take their babies to see a doctor in a timely manner. If the baby's vomiting is mild, they can eat in small amounts. If vomiting is severe, temporary fasting may be necessary, but drinking diluted salt water is acceptable.
