Vomiting is a very common situation, and I believe everyone is familiar with it. However, there are many times when babies will experience vomiting, especially when they are one and a half years old. This can easily draw the attention of mothers and make them very worried. So why does a one and a half year old baby suddenly vomit?
Why does a one-and-a-half-year-old baby suddenly vomit
Vomiting is a symptom caused by various reasons leading to retrograde peristalsis of the esophagus, stomach, and intestines, accompanied by strong spasms and contractions of the abdominal and diaphragm muscles, forcing the contents of the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract to flow out of the mouth. Vomiting is sometimes an instinctive defense mechanism in the human body, which can eliminate harmful substances ingested and provide protection. Almost any infection or emotional stress can cause vomiting, and if a baby vomits severely, it is best to take them to the hospital for medical treatment.
What should I do if a one-and-a-half-year-old baby vomits while drinking milk
After breastfeeding, burp the baby more and feed less at a time. In addition, within half an hour after the baby eats, do not let him engage in vigorous activity and help him keep his body upright to aid digestion. You can hold the baby upright. If there is a baby car seat or a back type baby backpack at home, you can also let the baby sit inside, which can effectively reduce the occurrence of vomiting when the baby drinks milk.
Every baby is a mother's love and treasure, so when a baby experiences vomiting, the mother needs to know why the baby is experiencing this condition. If it is only due to drinking milk, there is no need to be nervous. As long as the correct feeding method is mastered, this situation will not occur. At the same time, as the baby grows up, the occurrence of vomiting during feeding will be effectively reduced.
