When babies are young, they often vomit milk after eating. Some babies spit milk out like a fountain, with milk all over their mouth and nose. This phenomenon can be very frightening for novice mothers, so what's wrong with babies spitting milk at night?
It may be due to the baby consuming too much air while breastfeeding. At this time, babies often feel uncomfortable. Another issue is that the mother does not know if the baby is full, so the time interval for feeding the baby is relatively short, and the number of feedings is relatively high, resulting in the milk volume exceeding the maximum capacity of the baby's stomach, so the baby will spit out excess milk.
Another situation is that the baby always lies flat while breastfeeding. The baby's stomach is naturally growing horizontally, and if the baby is fed while lying flat, the milk cannot directly enter the baby's intestines. Many babies fall asleep while breastfeeding, and the milk in their stomach is directly vomited out by the baby due to the influence of their sleeping position.
After the baby spits milk, the mother needs to remove some of the milk immediately. To prevent these milk products from breeding bacteria that can be ingested by babies, causing gastrointestinal infections and even diarrhea. At the same time, it is important to avoid the smell of these dairy products from irritating the baby and causing vomiting again.
