Is this pathological vomiting?

summary

There are many types of baby's milk spitting, mainly including pathological milk spitting and physiological milk spilling. There is a large amount of milk spitting, frequent milk spitting and painful expression. It should be considered that it is pathological. If it is only a slight spitting of two mouthfuls of milk, there is no change, which is the biological characteristic. Is this pathological vomiting? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Is this pathological vomiting?

First: the amount of spitting is relatively large, which can occur shortly after feeding, or half an hour later. Before spitting, the child has the expression of opening mouth and neck, pain and suffering. Spilled milk is less, more occurred just after eating milk, generally spit out one or two. 　

Second: the milk from the mouth, first through a pipe called esophagus, and then into the stomach. The stomach of the newborn is lying horizontally from the front, showing an unstable state. At the same time, the cardia (stomach entrance) is relatively loose. As the baby's stomach and cardia can not be well contracted, resulting in milk into the stomach can be more easily returned to the esophagus.

Third: children occasionally spit milk, the spirit is also very good, not necessarily sick. If continuous vomiting several times, each time when feeding, should pay attention to whether the child has fever, defecation, mental change, etc. There may be problems in the gastrointestinal tract itself, or there may be lesions in other systems. You should take your child to the hospital for examination

matters needing attention

1. It is advocated to hold the breast-feeding, when the breast-feeding must lie down, the head is high and the feet are low. Too cold or unsanitary milk may cause the baby to spit. 2. After feeding, make sure to burp the baby: hold the baby upright and lean on the shoulder, pat the baby on the back, let him breathe in the air in the stomach through burping, and then put the baby on the bed, so that it is not easy to spit. Should not immediately let the baby supine after feeding, but should lie on the side for a while, and then change to supine.
