Spit up a white fluid from the baby's mouth, especially after being fed milk. Do not panic, the condition in medical terms is called with regurgitation is often experienced by the baby until he was 12 months.
Spit up is different from vomiting. Spit happens because there is air in the stomach when food is pushed out into the baby's stomach. Spit happens passively or occur spontaneously. Different from vomiting when stomach contents come out because the kids try it out. Under normal circumstances, babies spit up can be experienced between 1 - 4 times daily.
Categorized spit up is normal, if the occurrence of some time after eating and drinking and not followed by other symptoms suspicious. During the baby's weight increased according to health standards, not fussy, spit up blood and not mixed hard not to eat or drink, then spit up do not need to be criticized. The important thing to watch out for is if the amount of fluid removed spit up a lot more than that entry, if this happens, do not wait too long immediately bring the baby to the doctor.
Cause of the spit can indeed vary. Among these are:
1. Drink milk or baby milk exceeds the capacity of the stomach, but at that age infant stomach capacity is still very small.
2. Too active. For example when the baby is squirming or when the baby is constantly crying.
3. Gastric throttle not functioning perfectly. From the mouth, the milk will go into the digestive tract, and then to the stomach. Well, in between these two organs are the stomach throttle. In babies, this valve is not functioning perfectly normally. Consequently, if the baby is in the wrong position would milk come out of the mouth.
What is the solution?
1. Give your baby a more condensed milk. This mode is recommended only in formula-fed infants. Combine the rice flour 5 grams for every 100 cc of milk. Then Drinks as usual.
2. Change feeding position angle of 45 degrees. Supine position makes an angle of 45 degrees between the body, waist, and a crib. This position has been shown to help reduce back-flow of milk from the stomach into the esophagus.
3. Hold your baby in a position of 45 degrees until it belched immediately after they finish eating and drinking. Or sleep on her back and bumps in the form of pads or piles of cloth in his back. Let him in that position as long as possible (minimum 2 hours).
4. Avoid direct pick up the baby when she spit up or vomiting because of how this would be dangerous, because the vomit or spit up can come down again, into the lungs, and finally even interfere with the lungs.
5. Leave it alone if the baby spit out of his nose. This is actually better than the liquid back and inhaled into the lungs because it can cause inflammation or infection.
6. Give the baby to drink little by little, but often. Always try to enter more fluid than the fluid that comes out so that dehydration does not occur.
