Doctor's answer:
Nausea is one of the common symptoms during the neonatal period, which is related to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of newborns.Guidance:
Hello: Incorrect feeding is the most common cause of nausea in newborns. This can include:
- Drinking too quickly or too slowly;
- Air remaining in the bottle nipple during bottle feeding when it is not fully filled with milk;
- Feeding immediately after the baby cries loudly, allowing a large amount of air to enter the stomach, which then causes stomach distension. When this air is expelled from the stomach, it brings milk along, leading to nausea.
Prevention methods:
- Ensure the correct feeding posture when feeding.
- After the baby cries, comfort them first before feeding.
- If the milk is too full, remove the nipple after drinking for a while, rest for a moment, and then continue feeding.
- After feeding, hold the baby upright, let them lie on the mother’s shoulder, and gently pat their back to burp (expel air in an inverted position) before putting them down for a nap.
For babies who are prone to nausea, it is best to keep their head slightly elevated and prefer lying on their right side.
