A one month old baby vomits milk
Release time : 01/18/2025 18:13:27
Some newborns still spit out milk 1-2 weeks after birth, and spit it out every time after nursing, scaring newborn mothers off guard.
Because the stomach position of a young baby is horizontal, once a little more milk is ingested, milk overflow will easily occur.
As the baby grows older, the position of the stomach gradually becomes vertical, the muscle strength of the cardia sphincter strengthens, and the number of milk spills will gradually decrease, and will stop when the baby is 7 or 8 months old.
How to prevent a month-old baby from spitting milk? The best way to prevent spitting milk is to help your baby burp. There are ways to help your baby burp: 1. Pick up the baby vertically and gently pat the back for more than 5 minutes. This is the basic method to help your baby burp.
If your baby still cannot burp, you can also try massaging your baby's back with your palm.
2. Support the baby's chin and let the child sit up.
3. You can also let the baby lie on your lap and then pat the back.
What to do if a baby throws up every month? Mothers can solve the problem of throwing up by correcting the feeding posture, patting the baby after feeding, and paying attention to the amount of feeding.
1. Correct the breastfeeding position. When breastfeeding, mothers should avoid letting babies lie down to feed, as it is likely that the breast milk will flow back and cause regurgitation.
It is recommended that the mother embraces the baby in her arms and places the baby's head higher than its body to prevent vomiting during feeding.
2. After feeding, it is recommended to gently pat the back of the baby after breastfeeding. The specific method is to lift the baby up and gently pat the back from the middle of the spine upwards, aiming to make the baby burp, so that the baby won't choke or spit up milk.
Pay attention to the amount of breastfeeding. In fact, even after a month, a baby's stomach capacity is quite small. Therefore, do not feed the baby too much at once; otherwise, if the baby's stomach cannot hold it all, it will easily vomit.
When breastfeeding, it is recommended to feed less frequently, but in larger amounts.
Take good care of your baby's stomach. Sometimes, spitting up milk in babies is due to a cold stomach.
Therefore, do not let your baby get chilled, otherwise, the gastric muscles will contract and cause vomiting.
Pay attention to protecting your baby's belly and be sure to cover the quilt when sleeping.
Is it necessary to see a doctor if a one-month-old baby spits up milk? In fact, there is no need to worry too much.
However, the state of consciousness and physical condition of the baby after vomiting is something that mothers need to pay attention to.
After vomiting has subsided, if the baby still shows symptoms such as lack of energy, just wanting to sleep, restless emotions, difficulty sleeping, fever, abdominal distension, etc., it is likely that they are ill and should see a doctor.
