Newborn babies need special attention. After being sheltered in the mother’s womb for 9 months, the baby will be affected by the outside world. Therefore, newborn baby care has a special place in caring for babies.
Neonatal vomiting is considered natural. Unless your baby vomits often and strongly, don’t worry. Because the baby did not understand that they were full, they continued to breastfeed their mother and the inhaled milk returned from the stomach to the esophagus. Therefore, the baby will remove these excess substances from the body. This is very common, especially in newborns. In the medical literature, this type of vomiting is defined as „physiological reflux.“ This vomiting is reduced as the baby’s stomach and intestines develop and the baby feels full stomach. Vomiting in 6-month-old neonates actually meets the important needs of infant development. In addition, the baby’s sucking is slow or fast, swallowing air when sucking, and failing to vent gas after being filled may cause vomiting. This general form of vomiting is leaking from the baby’s mouth. However, if the baby is severely vomiting, this may indicate a disease and you must consult a specialist.
Mothers should be careful to keep the baby at an angle immediately after breastfeeding. The frequency of vomiting of the baby lying on the right side is reduced. Do not put your baby on your back immediately after breastfeeding. In the case of vomiting, there may be a risk of suffocation of the baby on the back.
Considering that you can’t stop your baby from vomiting, all you have to do is provide the necessary hygiene in your baby’s diet. There are newborn wipes designed for newborn babies. The newborn wet towel has a cottony, non-fragrance and alcohol-free structure that does not harm the sensitive skin of the baby and provides hygienic cleaning. You can easily use this BPA-free product to clean your baby’s mouth and face after vomiting.
In short, vomiting in infants is natural during this period, and mothers can reduce vomiting by various measures. As the baby grows and the digestive system develops, these vomits, known as physiological reflux, gradually decrease and disappear completely in fully mature infants
