The story about breastfeeding will be incomplete, if you do not mention the phenomenon of regurgitation. In the process of sucking, the baby swallows a small amount of air with milk, and if the air gets into the stomach in a significant amount, then going out, he takes a piece of milk with him. This is how regurgitation occurs. With one or several regurgitations, a child can lose a large amount of milk eaten, so he remains hungry and after a short time again demands food. But regurgitation can be avoided, if immediately after feeding the baby hold in a vertical position for 2-3 minutes, pressing her belly and stroking the back.

This time is enough for the air to separate from the milk, accumulated in the upper part of the stomach and went out through the esophagus, not carrying with it milk. Mums do not need to worry that they can miss the moment of regurgitation of the air - it's usually audible well. After this procedure, the baby can be put in a warm bed.

Often, regurgitation is caused by overeating of the baby, since the stomach is small and can not cope with a large volume of food, therefore part of it is removed by regurgitation. Very often, regurgitation can be observed in a mobile baby, which immediately after feeding leads the

too actively and intensively moves the legs, squeezing out part of the milk from the stomach.

Moms should be careful also when the child has already regurgitated, as there are frequent cases of repeated air separation after a while after feeding, although the loss of milk is small. After feeding, it is advisable to put the baby on its side, in this case, even if the regurgitation occurs, the milk will not get into the respiratory tract, but will pour out onto the diaper.

In conclusion, one more tip: if the baby falls asleep at the end of feeding or immediately after eating, then it does not need to be awakened, but should be held in a semi-vertical or upright position, and put the baby in the crib as soon as the air is out of the stomach.
