why does my baby spit up so often after getting fed?

Question

Do all babies who are exposed to hand, foot and mouth syndrome always get sick?

Answer 1

Reflux: Make sure to burp the baby and do not overfeed another way to prevent is t keep your baby sirloin for a few minutes after is fed.

Answer 2

Could be reflux: Gastroesophageal reflux is a common cause of spitting up in babies. You baby may also be overfeeding. In addition, vomiting could rarely be due to milk protein or food allergies. Be sure to discuss your concerns with your doctor to determine the cause. Try also keeping your baby positioned upright 15-20minutes after feedings and burp her frequently to help minimize the spit ups.

Answer 3

Very common.: 70% of babies spit up to some extent. Things that help are frequent burping and keeping your baby upright against you for about 15 minutes after feeding. If this doesn't help, it's time to see your baby's Dr.

Answer 4

Use Nursery water: Nursery water is distilled water that is also fortified with a small amount of Fluoride (you can also get Fluoride free variety). This water is purified for drinking by babies and does not contain harmful bacteria, parasites, or heavy metals that can be found in city/tap or well water. Should be used until age 12 months.

Answer 5

Diluted or distilled: If you have tested your well water and consider it okay for you to drink, it is okay for baby. If you worry about any contamination then bottled water would be worth the investment.

Answer 6

Yes: This can be very troublesome. I had herpangina and this was the worst aspect of the illness (lasted for months), and many people have it much more severely. If no cause (hormones, meds, GI reflux, xerostomia / sjogren's) is found, a good multivitamin may help. Topical anesthetics and lozenge Clonazepam are used & sometimes it resolves by itself.

Answer 7

Decalcifications: Acid reflux could cause the white spots while many foods and or medications can stain the enamel

Answer 8

Look to your habits: Spots or stains on adult teeth that weren't there before are usually a result of what you eat or drink. White spots means the enamel is being attacked. Do you drink lots of soda or acidic drinks or suck on lemons. That'll do it. As for stains...Drinking dark sodas, coffee, tea or wine are the most common sources of stains.. Also...How is your oral hygiene? You need to help the situation.

Answer 9

Black hairy tongue: It is a condition caused by lengthening of the filiform papilla of the tongue. This in turn can cause it to become stained easily by coffee, food or tobacco. It can also occur after taking pepto-bismol or can be a side effect from taking penicillin. Certain types of bacteria and yeast can also be a factor.

Answer 10

Many causes.: There are a couple of things that can cause a coated tongue. First it could just be a buildup of food debris. Cleaning your tongue is important to prevent this. Second it yould be a yeast infection and this would be thick with a cottage cheese appearance that you can scrape off. Medications like pepto can cause, so can vitamin deficiencies. Your dentist can tellyou what is going on.

Answer 11

Exposure: Waiting simply allows them further exposure to the diseases. And having a current epidemic of whooping cough(pertussis) where i practice, your child has an increased risk of serious disease and even death by waiting.And the shots are a much safer risk than taking a chance on getting the disease!

Answer 12

Protection: The younger the child usually the more detrimental the illnesses are that we protect against for example we are starting to see a lot of pertussis again older children and adults get bad coughs lasting many weeks an un immunized baby can die from pertussis which is part of the DPT immunization same with the meningitis shots.

Answer 13

There isn't: The other info here is correct and there are more pertussis infections lately. It is worse in the very young although they are not protected from vaccines until after the third one at 6 months. It is possible to wait til older. As long as you as a parent are comfortable with waiting and understand the risks on both sides. ...Giving or waiting. Follow your instincts for your child.
