Regurgitation (Posset)

Posset - regurgitation of infants after feeding a small amount of milk (1-2 tablespoons).

Unlike vomiting, regurgitation occurs when the glottis is closed, and the child does not lose consciousness or turn blue. When regurgitating, undigested milk particles are present in the vomit. Regurgitation most often occurs in children in the first months of life; they usually appear after feeding, but sometimes during feeding. This is a normal physiological phenomenon due to the immaturity of the nervous regulation of sucking. By 3–4 months, regurgitation usually stops. But if a child spits up after every feeding, then this is a reason to contact a pediatrician.



Bad greetings for mothers.

Posset spitting up can be a problem not only for young babies, but also for their mothers as they may feel helpless in the situation.

Position

Although spitting up can be an unpleasant experience, it is worth noting that it is a natural process that occurs in all people, including adults. Additionally, it is important to understand that Posset is a normal condition for newborns and infants.
