Why does the baby vomit? We search for the reasons (regurgitation by a fountain at newborns)

Regurgitation in a newborn after feeding is a natural phenomenon. Thus, out of the baby's stomach, excess air escapes, and the body signals that the digestion process is normal. But sometimes it happens that the crumb sharply belches a large amount of food, almost everything that he ate. What is this phenomenon and what are its causes? Regurgitation of a fountain in newborns is the topic of our article. Having studied the information presented in it, you will find out why this happens to the baby and what actions to take the parents in a similar situation.

Inadequate infant feeding

The reason No. 1, according to which the fountain is regurgitated in newborns, is a violation of the technique of applying the baby to the breast. During feeding, each mom should watch how the baby grasps the nipple. In his mouth must fall all the areola, not just the tip of the chest. The spout of the baby should breathe freely, otherwise he will always let out the nipple and breathe in the mouth. And this is the reason for getting into the ventricle crumbs of excess air. It is the air that provokes profuse regurgitation. At artificial feeding it is necessary to pick up correctly a pacifier for butylochki. It should be soft, elastic, repeating the shape of the mother's nipple. After feeding, hold the baby in a "pillar" until excess air is released.

Regurgitation of a fountain in newborns. What does Dr. Komarovsky say about this?

All the beloved pediatrician recommends parents of babies not to panic in a similar situation, but to pay attention to how much food a baby eats for one feeding. Newborns do not feel full and therefore can eat as much as they are given. For this reason, the child can overeat, as a result of which
There is a regurgitation of a fountain in newborns. The reasons are clear? How can Mom know that the crumb is already full? During the next feeding, wean the baby from the chest a little earlier than usual. Look at his reaction, see how much he bows. A well-fed child will not be capricious and cry. But if the baby is not overfed, and cases of abundant milk yield from the stomach happen quite often, then there may be more weighty reasons for this. The regurgitation of fountain in newborns can occur as a result of serious diseases. Let's talk about this in more detail.

Information from specialists

The cause of stomach cramps in infants may be a digestive disorder (variance). This phenomenon occurs in cases where the crumb does not fit the food. As a rule, this applies to children who are on artificial feeding. Pay attention to the quality of the milk or mixture that you give to the baby. Consult your doctor and try to replace them with others.

Infectious diseases can also cause plentiful regurgitation in the infant. In this case, only an expert can prescribe an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

What to do if the above problems do not have any relation to your baby, and spasms and vomiting happen often? In what else there can be reasons? Fetal regurgitation in newborns can occur due to the pathology of the digestive system. The reasons may be an intestinal obstruction, a diaphragmatic hernia, an abnormality of the stomach. But these diagnoses are extremely rare, and they can only be confirmed by a survey. Such pathologies are treated surgically.

I want to warn all young mothers and dads: do not go to extremes and do not panic if the newborn spews up a lot. First of all, watch his state of health. If the baby has a restful sleep, regular stools and urination, he is active during wakefulness, gaining normal weight - these are signs that your baby is healthy. And about the regurgitation consult with the pediatrician and make sure that everything is in order with your baby.
