Because of features of digestive system the newborn children are inclined to frequent vomiting after feeding. But to avoid hit of food masses in airways it is necessary to keep the kid in vertical position or "column". However it should be taken into account also other nuances when feeding the baby.

Instruction

1. If the kid ate and is awake, within 1-2 minutes take him vertically, at the same time support by one hand his legs, and another - a back and a neck. You watch that its head was at the level of your shoulder and touched it. But that later each feeding of the kid not to change a dressing gown, take care of the safety - put a napkin or a small towel on a shoulder.

2. If at meal time the kid constantly falls asleep that is peculiar to children of the first months of life, then you feed him in semi-vertical position (the head and a thorax of the child on the raised mom's elbow). In this case it will be possible not to worry that during sleep vomiting will get into airways and will cause asphyxia (suffocation). And only after an otkhozhdeniye of air put the child in a bed.

3. It becomes frequent the kid uneasy already during feeding. And it is a sure sign of swallowing with food of air which holds apart a stomach of the kid and causes unpleasant feelings on which he also responds crying. Therefore as soon as it began to coil, be capricious, wave handles and to turn away from a breast, take the child in vertical position until it does not srygnt then you can continue feeding by a breast.

4. If the kid eats hasty and greedy as though choking, then can interrupt several times feeding for 1 minute and hold the child a column. And only after an otkhozhdeniye of air (eructation) start further feeding.
