My child vomits after eating - what can I do about it!?

Vomiting is common in infants and usually occurs after ingesting milk or expelling gas. Pediatricians call this regurgitation when babies throw small amounts of milk out of their mouths. There are different types of vomiting, one of the most common and natural is gastroesophageal reflux, which occurs in the first few months. This is due to an immature valve that connects the esophagus to the stomach, resulting in the baby not being able to control the reflux of milk. This condition usually does not require medical treatment and will resolve as the baby grows and the esophageal sphincter matures. To help the baby, you can feed him in small quantities and in each shot and take breaks between meals to make it easier to process the food. You can also raise the pillow slightly when the baby is sleeping to avoid coming into contact with vomit. Other causes of vomiting can include infections such as gastroenteritis, which are accompanied by fever and loss of appetite. In this case it is no longer natural and must be treated medically. Vomiting usually doesn't cause pain or discomfort, but if you notice signs of dehydration such as dry mouth or lack of tears, you should seek medical attention immediately. Allergies to artificial milk can also cause vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain. In this case, the pediatrician may recommend a milk change. If the baby vomits little and has no symptoms, it may be because he drank too much milk or ate too quickly. This type of vomit is usually white and looks like mashed milk. However, if the vomiting is caused by infections or allergies, the color and appearance will change. This can also help you decide whether a doctor's visit is necessary. Monitor the situation and do not panic..
