my baby is getting hiccups after every feed. is it ok ?
hello dear. overfeeding is a common cause ofhiccups. if the stomach distends too fast or becomes too full, this can trigger. when breastfeeding, try slowing down feedings, and stop and burp your baby as you switch from one breast to the other. here are a few tips to reduce the baby's hiccups. taking a break from a feeding to burp your baby may help get rid of the hiccups, since burping can get rid of excess gas that may be causing the hiccups. use a pacifier. infant hiccups don't always start from a feeding. let them stop on their own. hold your baby upright for up to 20 minutes after each feed. try giving your baby smaller but more frequent feeds. take care.
are you in pain when you feed the baby? try cleaning your nipple with a warm cloth before a after feeding. if you feel any pain, consult your physician. Hi G-del,



Thank you for asking HealthReplies.com.







Jaundice in babies can be a physiological condition (still considered normal. The reason is because the liver function is not optimal in processing and removing bilirubin from the body. This condition will generally improve and then disappear by itself when the baby is more than 1 week old.



If your baby's jaundice does not improve within 1 month, even though your baby has been breastfed enough, then this condition needs to be examined directly by a pediatrician. It is feared that your child has certain health problems, for example:



Maternal and child blood group incompatibility Abnormalities of the liver or bile ducts, eg biliary atresia, cystic fibrosis, hepatitis Sepsis (blood infection) Infections, eg rubella, syphilis Genetic disorders (congenital), eg associated with red blood cell disorders, certain enzyme deficiencies Effects side of drugs, etc. If the jaundice your baby is experiencing is pathological, then if it is not treated properly, high levels of bilirubin in the blood can accumulate in the brain and trigger brain damage known as kernicterus. Therefore, don't delay checking your child to the doctor, especially if other complaints are found, such as a weak baby, less active, rarely crying, lazy to breastfeed, fever, and even decreased consciousness. Treatment will be carried out according to the condition that underlies your child's complaint. However, in general, not only a physical examination, the doctor will also recommend that your child undergo a thorough examination, such as laboratory tests, x-rays, and so on.



In the meantime, always breastfeed your baby with exclusive breast milk as needed. At the age of 1 month, babies are generally still feeding every 1 to 2 hours. Avoid giving additional food or drink (unless advised by a doctor). You can also put your baby out in the morning sun (before 10 o'clock) to help with the jaundice.



Hope it helps ya..







dr. Nadia Nurotul Fuadah Hello Lhizs Shity,



  

Infants aged> 6 months already need other foods as a complement to breast milk to meet their daily nutritional needs. Some mothers encounter problems that their children have difficulty eating or do not want other foods besides breast milk. Causes of children having difficulty eating include:







Babies teething, feeling ache and pain in the gums especially when chewing makes children avoid solid / hard food  

Rejecting new foods, babies feel strange seeing the shape / appearance or taste of new foods that you introduce  

Sprue  

The baby is too full because it is given milk / milk  

Other health problems



Some ways you can do to encourage children to go back to eating are:







Try to use natural processed ingredients, not instant foods  

Make food softer or in the form of porridge  

Introduce types of food one by one, do not be too often struggling to change food at first  

Limit consumption of milk / breast milk or give milk / milk after the child has finished eating his portion  

Give praise when the child wants to eat  

Encourage your child to eat with other children who have a good appetite, so that it triggers his appetite



Take your child to the doctor if you feel weight loss, bowel movement patterns, and delayed development. Thus the explanation from me, may be useful. infants like adults sometimes need help to go but if they feed regularly and drink extra water the incidence should be monomial so if you are worried just give your infant 4 oz of nursery water a day in addition to milk. see more... dear perm<br>you just have very active bowel movements - this is called borborygmi and is quite normal.<br>you can try to reduce the noise by eating regular small meals, avoiding gas forming foods and gassy cooldrinks, and drinking enough water.<br><br>dr bets i would get on some sort of birth control. this sounds like a hormone thing. your body is trying to regulate itself again and birth control would even out the hormones. could be a yeast infection. see your doctor for a treatment recommendation. it is ok as long as she is not overheated and no fever but be sure she isn't over dressed. see more... humidifiers add water vapor to the air we breathe. it does not 'treat' cold symptoms but makes the air your child breathes less dry. can help with breathing being more comfortable. good luck. green veggies! your developing baby needs folic acid for his or her spine to be perfect. the darker green the better especially spinach. i don't remember avoiding any fruits or veggies just wash them first. congrats and goodluck!
