Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of situations, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Please ask what should I do if the baby vomits a lot?Doctor's answer:
Actually, as long as you pay attention to the following aspects, you can prevent your baby from spitting up.1. Use the appropriate feeding position: Try to hold the baby upright while feeding, keeping the baby's body at a 45-degree incline. This allows milk to flow naturally from the stomach into the small intestine, reducing the chances of spitting up compared to feeding while lying down.
2. Make sure the baby burps after feeding: Hold the baby upright against your shoulder and gently pat their back to help them burp and expel the air they swallowed while drinking milk. Then place the baby back in bed, which can help prevent spitting up.
3. Avoid letting the baby lie flat immediately after feeding. Instead, let them lie on their side for a while before turning them over to lie flat.
4. Do not overfeed the baby, and avoid feeding intervals that are too close together.
