What should I do if my baby who is about 3 months old spits up milk after eating?

1. When the baby spits up milk, the upper body should be kept in an elevated position.

Once the vomit enters the trachea, it can cause suffocation. Therefore, it is best to place a towel under your baby's body and keep your upper body elevated while your baby is lying down. If your baby spits up while lying down, turn your baby's face to the side.

2. After spitting up, pay more attention to the baby's condition.

When the baby is lying down, the baby's head should be raised, or the baby should be simply picked up upright. After spitting up, your baby's face may not be good, but as long as it recovers later, there is no problem. Mothers should pay attention to the baby's condition.

In addition, according to the situation, the baby can be properly hydrated.

3. Replenish water 30 minutes after spitting up.

If you give your baby fluids immediately after spitting up, it may cause vomiting again. Therefore, it is best to try to give your baby some plain water with a spoon about 30 minutes after spitting up.

4. After spitting up, reduce the number of feedings to half of the usual amount.

Be sure to give your baby less milk, and then hold your baby upright while feeding him, so that he will avoid choking.

Parents can change the position of feeding their children, or they can divide the feeding of their children into multiple feedings.

This is normal because babies can easily spit up milk if they can't digest it.

This is particularly abnormal, indicating that the child does not have a good digestive system, and can learn some massage in life, and can also learn some exhaust exercises, so as to get a good improvement.

It is abnormal, this is a problem with the child's gastrointestinal absorption, and it may also be that he is allergic to milk, so he will spit up milk.

Babies vomiting when they drink milk may be caused by abnormal feeding problems, including excessive feeding, allergy to the protein in formula, and indigestion, which may cause babies to vomit after drinking.

If the baby is fed properly, but immediately after drinking, the symptoms of vomiting will appear, which is often caused by gastroesophageal reflux. If your baby inhales some gastrointestinal bacteria and viruses in the diet, it is also easy to cause vomiting and diarrhea.

In addition, if the child is infected with upper respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, otitis media infection, it is easy to cause some serious complications, including Swiss syndrome, meningitis, pneumonia, etc., these diseases will cause the child to have severe vomiting symptoms after drinking milk.

Frequent reflux vomiting can lead to the loss of nutrients in your baby, which can lead to poor growth and dehydration, as well as other health problems, including electrolyte imbalances, so you should see a pediatrician as soon as possible.
