Regurgitation and rumination in newborn - what does this mean
Regurgitation and rumination in newborns is a condition in which the infant expels milk or formula from the stomach and then re-swallows it. this is a normal reflex in newborns that helps them adjust to the process of feeding. however, if the reflex persists beyond the first few months of life, it can indicate a digestive problem that needs to be addressed.
What happens during the disease - regurgitation and rumination in newborn
Regurgitation and rumination in newborns is a condition in which a baby regurgitates and then re-swallows the milk they have just ingested. this is caused by an immature or weakened lower esophageal sphincter, which is responsible for keeping the contents of the stomach from entering the esophagus. when this sphincter is unable to close completely, milk is able to enter the esophagus and be regurgitated. the baby then re-swallows the milk, leading to rumination. this condition is often due to an immature or weakened lower esophageal sphincter.

Regurgitation and rumination in newborn - Prevention
Regurgitation and rumination in newborns can be prevented by ensuring that the baby is properly positioned during feeding, avoiding overfeeding, and burping the baby after each feeding. additionally, it is important to keep the baby upright for at least 30 minutes after feeding. finally, it is important to keep the baby on their back during sleep as this can help reduce the risk of regurgitation and rumination.
