Sometimes it is physiological spitting up milk, or it may be a big mouthful of milk that accidentally gets on the nose and affects the breathing. Therefore, when the baby spits up milk, you must hold the baby upright and wipe the baby's nose with warm water. This is the only way to ensure that the baby's nose will not be blocked. Be sure to clean it in time after spitting up milk, and give the baby a bath if necessary.

For breastfeeding, clean the nipples with warm water before each feeding, and hold up the breast with four fingers, with the thumb placed on the areola on the nipple to slow down the flow of milk. For bottle-feeding, clean the feeding utensils with boiling water before each feeding, and feed after the nipples are filled with milk. The nipple hole should not be too large.

It is not advisable to lift the newborn's lower limbs to change diapers within a short period of time after breastfeeding.
