A Hazardous Characteristic, Immediately Take Your Little One To Health Facilities

YOGYAKARTA - Seeing babies can make parents worry. But actually, gumoh is quite common in babies and is usually harmless. Slum is a condition when a baby releases a liquid, milk, or food that has just been swallowed.

Why baby gumoh? This is because their digestive system, especially the concavity and stomach, has not developed perfectly. In addition, the size of the baby's small stomach makes it easy for food to rise again. Usually, this condition will improve by itself when the baby is about one year old.

At the age of one year, the baby's digestive system has developed better and muscle rings at the bottom of the concavity have started to work optimally. Foods can also be more 'detained' in the stomach and not easily get back out.

Although breastfeeding in babies is classified as normal, parents need to be vigilant if they are accompanied by several complaints such as blood or other symptoms. However, before discussing the characteristics of harmful gums, you need to know signs of relatively normal gumoh.

Babies who often gumoh do not necessarily indicate health problems. In many cases, gumoh is part of the process of adapting the baby's body to the digestive system that is still developing. Slums that are still relatively normal are usually accompanied by the condition of the baby who remains active, comfortable, and show no signs of illness.

Quoted from Alodokter, here are some characteristics of gumoh which are still relatively normal:

Meskipun gumoh tergolong normal, ada beberapa tanda yang bisa menunjukkan bahwa gumoh yang dialami bayi merupakan gejala dari kondisi medis yang lebih serius. Berikut ini adalah ciri-charitas gumoh yang perlu diwaspadai, seperti dikutip dari Mayo Clinic:

If your little one shows any of the or some of the above symptoms, you should immediately consult a pediatrician or the nearest health facility for further examination.

Although gumoh is generally harmless, there are several steps that can be taken to reduce its frequency, as quoted from Alodokter:

When breastfeeding, try to make the baby's head slightly higher than his body. After breastfeeding, maintain this position for 2030 minutes so that the food does not rise back into the concavity.

2. Give food or breast milk in small but often

Don't give too much at one time. It's better to give a small amount of food or milk but more often. Also make sure the baby cares after breastfeeding.

3. Pay attention to the size of the dot on the milk bottle

If you use a bottle, check the size of the dot. A too large dot can make the milk flow too heavy, so that the baby is easily strangled and triggers defamation.

4. Don't immediately put the baby to sleep after breastfeeding

Carry the baby for a moment after breastfeeding. When it's time to sleep, put the baby in a supine position with a slightly higher head. Avoid the prone position because it can increase the risk of sudden infant mortality syndrome (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome/SIDS).

5. Consider milk allergies or lactose intolerance

If the baby is suspected of not suitable for cow's milk, consult a doctor. It could be THAT the sap occurs because of allergies or intolerance to lactose.
