In the process of raising children, it is inevitable that they will encounter various problems. Parents need to learn some knowledge about parenting to avoid being flustered when problems arise. Some children may experience frequent retching. So, why do children always retch?
1. If babies under six months old occasionally experience dry nausea and sometimes vomit milk, it may be due to the child's young age and underdeveloped digestive system, or it may be caused by improper feeding posture. When breastfeeding, be careful not to let the child inhale air, and after breastfeeding, be careful to burp the child.
2. If the baby occasionally retches but does not vomit milk, it is necessary to check if the child's throat is stimulated by anything.
3. If the baby vomits after adding new food, it may be caused by discomfort with the new food and it is necessary to pause adding new food first.
4. If a baby experiences nausea and diarrhea while retching, it may indicate gastroenteritis. It is important to check if the baby has eaten anything bad or if they have developed bacterial infections, and seek medical attention.
5. If the baby extends their hand to the throat and then retches without any other abnormal conditions, it is due to the stimulation of the epiglottis caused by their hand. At this time, toys can be used to tease the baby, divert their attention, and prevent them from putting their hand into their mouth.
