Patient's question:
Hello, doctor, I would like to understand why the child is spitting up milk from the nose. Yes,Doctor's answer:
Because the stomach of an infant is horizontal, small in capacity, the cardiac sphincter of the esophagus is wider and has poorer closing function, and the pylorus connecting to the small intestine is tighter. Infants often inhale air while suckling, and milk liquids are easily poured into the mouth, causing the milk to be vomited out. This issue can be prevented by using the appropriate feeding posture.1. Use the proper feeding position: Hold the infant upright as much as possible, keeping the baby's body at a 45-degree incline to allow stomach acid to naturally flow into the small intestine. This will reduce the chance of vomiting, rather than lying flat during breastfeeding. After the baby finishes drinking milk, stand up and pat its back until it burps.
2. After feeding, it is essential to burp the baby: Hold the baby upright, supporting its shoulders.
