Babies and Parents

The smaller they are, the greater the ease with which children to vomit and also greater the number and variety of disorders that can cause, so that the baby, vomiting may be a minor incident with no sign or even the a serious problem. But whatever the cause, when unrestrained, add to the risk of dehydration, because the baby not only leaks, but that it prevents vomiting replacement. So if you vomit repeatedly as milk and is not seen by the pediatrician, you must provide a sugary liquid, such as a chamomile tea or plain water with sugar, a teaspoon, but if it does not tolerate even small amounts of liquid must be addressed urgently.

It is also urgent to see if the vomit is yellow-green or bloody. The green color is due to the presence of bile, although in older children it is not so alarming in itself, in the newborn must be ruled out intestinal obstruction. The blood, which could have its natural red color or be black, giving the vomited material looks reminiscent of the coffee grounds, may have been swallowed at birth or from a cracked nipple, but also could indicate a hemorrhage the baby’s digestive tract, so you should immediately report to the pediatrician.

In general, an isolated vomiting is irrelevant and usually respond to anything serious. The first day is very common for the newborn vomit mucus and secretions that have come to his stomach and, later, if they eat too much or so hungrily swallowing too much air, it makes sense to return the shot. At that time, you can put the baby looks a little pale and dizzy, but if there is another problem, then you must recover its good looks. Vomiting is very bulky and always gives the feeling that they have returned everything they ate, which is usually not true, but if the child cries a little while because he is hungry, there’s no harm in trying to feed him again.

The significance of repeated vomiting depends on the context and circumstances that accompany them. During the first days of life may be the sign of a congenital obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract, which is expressed also by the absence of meconium and feces, but the vomiting is also one of the main symptoms of many rare metabolic diseases, and list of causes of vomiting in infants is almost endless, ranging from ear infections, urinary infections, meningitis and almost any infection, intussusception, and appendicitis, from the classic course gastroenteritis and many more or less rare diseases that are accompanied their own symptoms.

However, if exceptions are presented in the initial stages of gastroenteritis, has not yet appeared when diarrhea, repeated vomiting as the only symptom are rare in his presence, the doctor always think of a “hypertrophic pyloric stenosis “a relatively common disease in which the pylorus of the child, ie, the output channel of your stomach becomes narrower as a result of hypertrophy of the muscle, which occurs for unknown reasons.

This problem, which affects more firstborn males starts to reveal about the second week of life, when the progressive clogging begins to prevent stomach emptying and cause projectile vomiting in a child who, moreover, not only initially has no appearance of disease, but shows clear and growing signs of hunger. An ultrasound is usually sufficient to diagnose and solve a fairly simple surgery.
