The physical health of babies is the most important thing for parents. Breastfeeding or formula feeding is usually used for feeding babies. Breastfeeding is beneficial for the growth and development of babies, not only improving their immunity, but also enhancing their intelligence and other benefits. But some parents may ask, what is the reason for a baby spitting milk?
1. In fact, for newborns, spitting milk is a normal situation. Shortly after being fully fed, the baby will vomit a small amount of milk. If the appetite is normal and there is no crying or other abnormal symptoms after vomiting, it is a normal phenomenon that does not require special treatment. But if the baby frequently spits milk, it may be due to esophageal inflammation, and parents need to take the baby to the hospital for treatment.
2. Specifically, there are physiological factors involved. The main reason is that the digestive system is not perfect, the vomiting center is not perfect, the coordination ability of the swallowing muscle group is relatively poor, and the stomach volume is small and horizontal, the lower esophagus is relaxed, and the gastrointestinal peristaltic nerve regulation function is weak. Therefore, infants are prone to vomiting milk.
3. There are also pathological factors. If the feeding method is improper, including feeding too quickly, feeding too much, frequent feeding, and other reasons. It is also possible that the baby's abdomen has caught a cold, causing dysfunction of the spleen and stomach. Alternatively, the baby may be infected with pathogens such as bacteria or viruses, or it could be caused by certain medications. At this point, parents need to take their baby to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid worse health conditions for the baby.
