Наконец-то вы стали родителями!Every day yours is filled with new pleasant emotions and impressions. Yes! But sometimes some events make moms and dads worry a lot. One of the causes of unrest is regurgitation. Do not worry if your baby ejaculates the contents of the stomach in the first months of life - this is quite normal. With some, this happens quite often, and with some less. What it depends on and whether it is possible to help with something, you will learn from this article.
To understand why a child is often and manyregurgitates, it is necessary to penetrate into all the details of the process, it will help to distinguish the physiological norm from a dangerous situation. This happens involuntarily. The contents of the stomach are released into the esophagus, and then into the mouth. You will not be able to completely get rid of this natural process, but you can reduce the frequency and quantity.
Usually the child spit up after eating. This is explained by the fact that during feeding, air enters along with the milk, which, in turn, provokes abdominal pain - colic.
In order for the air to go out, you have to press the babystomach to your own body upright. Simply put - a column. The head should rest on the shoulder of an adult, as it is not yet able to hold it evenly. If the air does not go out, you can try lightly patting on the back. This usually helps. Do not be alarmed if milk comes out with air. Often the question arises: "Monthly baby regurgitates - why does this happen?" Because he likes to suck milk, and he does it not only to satisfy his hunger. It brings him pleasure and brings him closer to his mother. If you pay attention, you can see that even in a dream he makes sucking movements. In this case, even smiles. The child, after eating, belches more, because he overeats. Inspired by the process, he sucks more milk than is required. This is not a reason to experience - he has not yet learned to control the process of saturation. A little older and will eat exactly as much as he should be.
More than 80 percent of babies up to 7 months every day burp. The number of regurgitations and their frequency depends on some factors, for example:
Remember: overeating will never be useful!
When a baby sucks milk, he does it.in batches, 3-5 times. Between them, making small pauses, he swallows what he managed to pump earlier. Breastmilk quickly reaches the intestines, as this food is liquid. When food gets into the intestines, peristaltic waves appear. At this time, the pressure in the stomach rises. This gives the impetus for food to return to the esophagus.
The next reason the child spits upcoagulated milk - the cardiac part of the stomach is imperfect. When he is older, a cardiac sphincter will appear between the esophagus and the cardiac part of the stomach, which will not allow food to be released into the esophagus due to contracted movements.
If the child is too active, then you can observestretching the walls of the stomach. But this reason is rare. And only a specialist can determine it correctly. So, dear mothers and fathers, if you have any suspicions, consult a doctor, do not self-medicate.
Relatives should be concerned first of all.weight gain, not how often a baby ejaculates with coagulated milk. If he is gaining weight well, then do not worry about it. The gastrointestinal system is just beginning to form, so this process is the norm. Your baby sleeps well, he is cheerful and often smiles, which means you have no reason to worry. But if he does not gain weight or, worse, lose, then do not postpone the visit to the pediatrician.
If the child began to regurgitate and notgaining weight, you should sound the alarm, and not hope that this is the physiological norm. The doctor will only examine him, ask his parents about the details, and possibly prescribe tests. Here are the most common causes of weight loss with regurgitation:
Everyone is convinced that regurgitation in babies who add weight well is the physiological norm (that is, they will not bring danger). True, not everyone will like the fact that all things will begin to smell like belching.
В кабинете у педиатров частенько задают вопрос:"Is there a solution to the regurgitation problem?" Doctors answer that everything will pass with time, you just have to wait. Children no longer inadvertently spew through the mouth the contents of the stomach when they begin to sit on their own, that is, at about 6-7 months. But what do moms and dads, who can not wait? Pharmacies do not sell medicines or special devices that will help solve the problem. The only thing you can use is the means of excessive gas formation. Some are made on the basis of simethicone (preparations "Sub simplex", "Espumizan", etc.), and others - of the fruits of fennel (means of "Plantex"). You can also use the well-known dill water in Soviet times or brew dill in the home. Just need to know the recipe of cooking. Regardless of what you choose, the drug will bring gases from the tummy, which means that the pressure on the stomach walls will decrease, and the volume of regurgitation should become less.
When finished feeding, carry the baby uprightposition (as described above) is about 20-30 minutes. If you do not have this time, use the sling. The more air the baby releases, the less it will burp. Do not rush during feeding (both breast and artificial). Better feed more often, but in smaller portions. Artificial pediatricians are advised to help expel the air after every 90 grams of the mixture, and breastfed babies - when changing breasts or during a pause sucking. And for those and others for another half hour, let them rest, do not play with them and toss them. Believe me, you still have time to do it.
Is your child an artificial artist?Then check that the hole in the nipple is the correct size. It should not be too big. Why does a child regurgitate a lot? Yes, because in our time it is not customary to swaddle. And in vain. Doctors advise to do this (just do not tighten the legs). When a baby is wrapped in a diaper, its activity decreases, and with it the pressure on the walls of the ventricle decreases.
Do not forget to lead an active lifestyle, this andyou will benefit. Every day, go with the baby to the fresh air, bathe him before bedtime. If you have the opportunity to visit the pool with him - fine, do not miss it. Every time before bed, do a tummy massage, gymnastics. It all strengthens the muscles. Putting the baby to sleep, give him a pacifier. This is quite useful. Sucking motions stimulate intestinal activity, and food no longer comes. This means that it will digest faster.
It is not necessary to use rollers and pillows for a year, butalso put the baby to sleep on the belly, face down. Never disregard a toddler if he is lying on his tummy in a dream. This all increases the risk of sudden infant death syndrome. It is better to place a flat pillow under the mattress (or a towel folded several times) so that the head is at an angle of about 30 degrees and turned to the left or right. Even if he belches in that position, he will definitely not choke.
It may seem to you that it is your baby who regurgitates a lot of milk or a mixture.
You will feel sorry for the milk that the bodyMommy so diligently worked out, or a mixture, for which I had to pay a considerable amount. Most likely, you exaggerate. Try spilling a large spoonful of milk on the table and see how huge the puddle turned out. Now look at your clothes, is there the same stain? Children usually spit just a teaspoon.
Monthly man can belch fountain because ofimmature digestive system. But why does a baby regurgitate with coagulated milk at the age of 3-6 months? The reason for this may be neurological diseases or abnormal development of the digestive system. Check with your doctor.
Babies with such symptoms should befirst examined by a pediatrician, and then specialists of a narrower profile - a gastroenterologist, a neurologist. If any pathologies are identified, doctors will prescribe a comprehensive treatment that will definitely help. The main thing - time to apply.
Most often at the sight of blood in moms and dads immediatelypanic begins. For a start, take it easy. If you are still breastfeeding, then most likely this blood belongs to you. It can flow from cracked nipples during feeding. Another option. It happens that during the regurgitation the baby is strongly strained, thereby provoking a rupture of a small blood vessel at the end of the esophagus. All this will quickly heal, and you will forget about it. However, you should still consult a doctor or even call an ambulance if the bleeding continues.
Если ваш ребенок срыгивает, причины могут быть diverse, and they depend on age. If, in parallel with this process, kilograms are not lost, then this is the physiological norm, which does not bring discomfort and harm. Over time, this all goes away by itself. But it happens that the children simply "melt" in front of their eyes, in this case it is imperative to turn to a pediatrician.

Spend more time on the street, do massage and gymnastics, bathe your baby. Use a means of reducing gas. Pharmacies have a huge amount of them. Consult with the pharmacist, he will help determine the choice. Well, you have found out why the child spits a lot. You just have to wait until he grows up and will get stronger.
