Many young and inexperienced mothers, and not only such, but also wise with life experience, begin to attend a sense of anxiety, if the child regurgitates the curd.
In most cases, regurgitation of the curd in newborns does not indicate any malformations or diseases of the baby. The most common reasons why a child spits a cottage cheese are overfeeding, ingestion of air during feeding, bloating in the baby . Try to eliminate these reasons:
- feed the baby in smaller portions, but more often;
- correctly apply to the breast or, with artificial feeding, reduce the opening in the nipple;
- Keep the child upright after feeding, so that he only vomits air;
- give a means of excessive gas generation.
Provoke regurgitation may unfavorable atmosphere in the family, strained relations of parents. Protect the child from quarrels and conflicts, do not raise his voice with him.
Do not panic ahead of time. Observe the state of the baby, weight gain for the day, intensity and volume of regurgitation. If, according to your observations, the newborn spews up the curd too intensively, in large amounts, at every feeding, behaves restlessly and does not gain weight - consult a doctor to rule out congenital pathology.
Pathological causes of regurgitation
Serious anatomical defects, leading to the fact that the baby regurgitates the curd, may be pyloric stenosis , a disease of the nervous system, intestinal infection, the manifestation of an allergic reaction. In these cases, medical, therapeutic or surgical removal of the disease is required. However, most often when the baby grows up and as the development of its gastrointestinal tract, the tendency to regurgitation decreases, and can stop at all when the child starts to sit.
