Summarize the differences between spitting, spilling and choking milk, and how to prevent and care.

Spilled milk usually flows out from the baby's mouth slowly, and the amount is very small, just like drooling, except that it is not saliva but milk. The baby has no abnormal reaction, no pain, no sadness, and there is nothing wrong with diet, sleep and spirit.

2. Babies spit milk

Baby spitting milk has slight spitting milk, serious spitting milk, slight spitting milk has no effect on baby, just like sprinkling milk; However, serious spit is different. Severe spitting is large, jet-like, and may be accompanied by painful expressions.

Spitting milk is not only caused by the baby's physiological characteristics, but also influenced by many reasons. For example, the baby eats a lot of air, and under the action of air, a lot of milk in the stomach flows back and squirts out of the mouth; The baby eats too much milk, which exceeds the capacity of the stomach and will also flow back.

The baby choked on the milk.

Choking milk, focusing on "choking", has nothing to do with the baby's physiological characteristics. Just like adults drinking water, if you don't pay attention, you are likely to choke. Water accidentally enters the trachea, causing severe cough and vomiting, and even flowing out of the nasal cavity. It hurts when adults choke, let alone children.

Spilled milk will cause a severe and painful cough when they are choked, and a lot of milk will come out of their mouths and their noses will flow out. Seriously, it will even endanger the baby's life.

Coping Methods of Spilling, Spitting and Choking Milk

The manifestations, causes and effects on the baby of milk spilling, spitting and choking are different, and the treatment methods are naturally different. What exactly should I do?

First, the milk overflows

If it is milk spillage, parents should not panic and make appropriate response according to the amount of milk spillage. For example, if the baby is lying flat and the milk overflows, don't rush to pick up the baby, but turn them to the right, so as to prevent the baby from continuing to overflow the milk, then wipe the baby clean, or pat the back gently to help burp.

PS: Don't suddenly pick up the baby, because the sudden pick-up action is likely to cause a certain shock to the baby, which will cause the milk to return and cause serious spitting; And if the baby does not respond in time, the milk may choke the baby and make them very painful.

B, spit milk

Spitting milk is mostly related to the baby's diet. If you eat too much, your stomach will not be full. Eating too much air makes a lot of milk flow backwards.

If spitting milk is slight, it can be treated like splashing milk. Don't pick up the baby right away, turn him to the side position, and then burp.

If vomiting is serious, the baby often vomits, or there are green substances in the milk, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital to see a doctor after treatment.

PS: Hiccup is very important for vomiting.

Hold the baby upright, let him lie on his mother's shoulder, face sideways, and don't cover his mouth and nose. The mother holds the baby's ass with one hand, the five fingers of one hand are slightly folded into a bowl, and then the baby's back is patted from bottom to top with the empty palm, and the air in the stomach is exhausted through vibration.

C, baby choking milk

There are many reasons for choking milk, which may be that the breast milk flows too fast, the nipple opening is too big, the feeding posture is incorrect, and the baby's nose is blocked ... If the baby is not careful when feeding, it is likely to choke. But whatever the reason, mother must deal with it immediately:

① Postural drainage: If the baby is choked by milk, don't hold it vertically. You should tilt your baby's upper body forward 45-60 degrees, and then lie on your parents' legs to let the milk flow out of the trachea.

2 Stimulate the baby to cry and cough: it can also stimulate the baby to cry and cough, specifically: let the baby lie on the mother's leg and pat the back to make it cough; Or pat the baby's feet to make him cry, let the milk in the trachea be discharged, and let the baby breathe smoothly.

③ Remove the residual milk in the oral cavity: Parents can wrap the index finger with gauze, reach into the baby's throat, and suck out the excess milk with the aid of the water absorption of gauze itself, so as to prevent the milk to be spit out from choking into the baby's trachea again.

The most important thing in nursing a baby is prevention.

For baby care, the most important thing is not to deal with the problem after it happens, but to prevent it before it happens. Although milk spilling and spitting are frequent and determined by the baby's physiological characteristics, they can not be completely avoided, but they can be prevented in advance to minimize the degree and frequency of occurrence.

As for choking milk, it can be completely prevented if parents take proper care. Specifically, we can start from these aspects:

1. Feeding environment and atmosphere: Keep quiet, peaceful and happy when feeding, don't disturb the baby, don't tease the baby, and don't feed when the baby is crying.

2. Feeding posture should be accurate: feeding posture should be accurate. Don't let the baby lie down and nurse. If the mother really can't get up and needs to lie down and nurse, you can raise the baby's head a little and let them nurse sideways.

If the mother is sitting and nursing, hold the baby in her arms, whether breast milk or milk powder, the baby's upper body should be slightly higher, about 45 degrees, which is not only conducive to the smooth outflow of milk, but also can avoid a large number of backflow.

3. The connection should be comprehensive and tight: when breastfeeding, if the baby's mouth is not comprehensive and tight enough, there is a gap, and air can easily enter from the gap. Therefore, the baby's connection must be comprehensive and close. If breastfeeding, the baby needs to connect all RU heads and most RU halos; If it is milk powder feeding, the baby needs to connect most of the nipples without leaving gaps.

4. The timing of hiccups should be appropriate: generally speaking, hiccups are enough after breastfeeding, but for those milk powder babies who often spit and spill milk, babies who are unstable when feeding, or babies who cry badly, it is recommended to hiccup many times during feeding, once every three to five minutes or six or seven minutes.

The newborn baby lies in the crib of the prenatal hospital.

5. If you can't burp, you can't hug vertically: Some parents often can't burp their baby. Don't worry. In this case, you can hold 15-20 minutes vertically. In this way, the baby can have a rest and relieve the occurrence of spitting milk.

6. Don't squeeze the abdomen after milking: After taking the photo, you can put the baby down and lie down, but at first it is recommended to lie on your side for a while to prevent spitting milk; And you can't squeeze your baby's abdomen, tease your baby, take a bath, or engage in strenuous activities.

Generally speaking, as long as parents encounter these problems, the baby will spill and spit milk.
