Whether still or with a bottle - feeding is an intimate moment

Often the little ones can hardly wait to feed and are full of anticipation. The first few weeks are also a very special time for mothers. The child and mother will no longer come so close and intimately in the course of childhood when it comes to food intake. Drinking from the bottle or breastfeeding is something very intimate and at the same time something really wonderful. After the filling meal, the child should open briefly to let excess air out of the stomach.

In the vernacular, it is still spoken by the "farmers" and it usually happens: a little the milk that has just been drunk with full chill gets up and the baby spits. This is completely normal and offers no reason to worry. Nevertheless, many mothers want to know what it is all about.

The baby spits after drinking: a natural reaction

The digestive apparatus in an infant has not yet been completed by the third month of life. In other words, not all organs work one hundred percent. Accordingly, the stomach closure still has to develop, which actually prevents the food from getting back into the esophagus. However, this muscle does not yet close properly in an infant.

In technical terms, the low spit on milk is referred to as reflux. This basically means nothing more than "return flow".

This reflux occurs particularly strongly when the baby has drunk too hastily and too greedily. But also a false posture after food intake can lead to the offspring to spit.

A nice comparison is an open drinking bottle. If this is well filled and has no closure, a part of the content will flow out of a certain location.

What helps when the baby spits?

Since this is largely a natural process, you cannot prevent the reflux - often there is no reason. But you can pay attention to a few things so that you don't unnecessarily excuse the reflux. This starts when feeding. Mothers who breastfeed their child should spread the milk a little out of their chest beforehand. Thus, they prevent too much milk from shooting out at the beginning and the baby has to swallow too quickly. With the bottle, make sure that you do not shake them too much. Otherwise, air bubbles form in it and that in turn would lead to flatulence and increased milk outflow.

The vacuum cleaner on the bottle is also very important. There is a corresponding size for the vacuum cleaner for every age. You can even test yourself whether it is optimal or not. To do this, keep the bottle down vertically. The milk is only allowed to flow out drops and do not run out gush -like. It is often recommended to wrap the baby fresh before drinking. If the diaper is only changed afterwards, the reflux may be encouraged even more when the baby has to lift its legs and turn.

When feeding yourself, make sure that your child occupies a relatively upright sitting position and is not too flat. This helps very well in order not to have to spit too much after feeding.

When the baby has made his peasant and the little sip of milk has found its way outside again, because give it some rest and avoid too much physical activity. This can also lead to an increased reflux.

When is spitting pathological?

Of course, parents think about when the harmless spit could become a serious illness. Therefore, make sure your child develops and behaves. Does it increase well in weight, does it seem woken up and lively? Then everything is usually in the best order. However, there is a big difference whether a baby is only spitting or whether it really spits. If vomiting only occurs once, there is no great danger behind it. However, caution is required the repeated time. Babies dehydrate very quickly and if you find that your darling spends more often, then it means to see a doctor immediately.

As a precaution, see a doctor

Sometimes viruses or germs can hide behind that trigger vomiting. Hygiene is therefore extremely important for bottle food.

Furthermore, you should not prepare the milk food in stock!
