Right half lying position can effectively reduce baby’s milk overflow,

Infant milk overflow is a common phenomenon, because the lower end of the esophagus and the cardiac sphincter located at the opening of the stomach are weak in strength. When the abdominal pressure increases (such as crying, lying prone, and exerting hard force), the stomach is compressed, so that the food entering the stomach returns to the oral cavity through the esophagus without pain. As long as the child is placed on the right side and semi-lying position after eating, milk overflow can be effectively reduced. In fact, milk overflow is not a serious problem. Probiotics and other microecological preparations have limited effect here. Author: Cui Yutao The article was reprinted by Clove Garden authorized by the author.
