After the baby is born, the responsibility of the mother is not only to restore the body, but also to take care of the baby's diet and daily life. The first priority of the mother is to breastfeed the baby on time. Only when the baby eats well and sleeps well can the mother feel more at ease. Baby spitting is one of the common problems encountered during the process of taking care of a baby, which often causes headaches and confusion for mothers. So, what's wrong with babies frequently spitting milk?
There are two reasons for babies to vomit milk: physiological vomiting and pathological vomiting. Among them, physiological vomiting includes two types: gastroesophageal reflux and belching vomiting. Gastroesophageal reflux is caused by the contraction function of the baby's gastric cardia, which requires a certain amount of time to improve. This leads to milk and other food entering the baby's stomach easily flowing back into the esophagus, causing the baby to vomit milk.
If a baby drinks milk too quickly or excessively during the process, it is easy for them to swallow a large amount of air. When this ingested air is expelled from the stomach, the baby will experience hiccups. At this point, some of the milk consumed may also be vomited out with hiccups or body shaking.
If the baby experiences various discomfort symptoms such as poor mental state, difficulty eating, fever, and crying during the process of spitting milk, parents should take the baby to the hospital as soon as possible. If the baby's vomiting is not very serious and their mental state is also good, parents don't need to worry too much.
