Regurgitation related to functional digestive disorders is considered normal.
If the child is healthy, he will simply outgrow this problem. However, this "phenomenon" is certainly unpleasant for both the baby and his mother.
To deal with regurgitation on your own, follow the recommendations in this article.
1. Before feeding, do not forget to place the baby on his tummy on a hard surface - he should spend about 5 minutes in this position.
2. If the baby is breastfed, the mother should ensure that he completely swallows the areola, since the air that the baby can swallow if he is not latched on correctly is often the cause of those very regurgitations.
3. After feeding, hold the baby upright for several minutes – this is necessary to allow any air that accidentally got into the stomach to escape.
4. Many mothers see improvements when they slightly raise the head of the crib by placing a towel under the mattress.
5. If the child is on artificial feeding, it makes sense to think about changing the formula – of course, after consulting with a pediatrician.
