Many novice parents have experienced their babies spitting milk, and shortly after the baby finished drinking, they immediately started spitting it out again. Newborns tend to vomit milk more frequently, with some babies vomiting slightly while others vomit more severely, which makes parents particularly worried. So what if a newborn baby keeps vomiting while breastfeeding?
In fact, the stomach of newborns is relatively small and has limited food storage capacity, so do not feed too much to the baby every time, as excessive feeding can cause vomiting. When breastfeeding, adopt the method of eating small meals and multiple meals. If the baby cannot finish drinking, you can squeeze out the excess breast milk and don't think it's a waste. If breast milk remains for a long time, it is easy to experience breast swelling, which can seriously lead to mastitis.
There are also ways to feed babies. When feeding, don't be too anxious, especially not letting the baby swallow too quickly to prevent air from entering the baby's stomach, which can easily cause vomiting and choking when drinking milk too quickly. During breastfeeding, mothers can use their fingers to grip the nipple and control the speed of breast milk flow, which can prevent the baby from choking on milk. If fed with formula milk, it is also important to pay attention to the size of the nipple and choose a nipple that is suitable for the baby.
After the baby finishes drinking milk, do not immediately put the baby on the bed, as this can easily cause vomiting. The correct method is to gently pick up the baby, lie on the mother's shoulder, and gently pat the baby's back to let the air in the baby's stomach out, which can reduce vomiting and prevent bloating.
