What happened ?
The baby aspirated the breastmilk. That means the baby belched out with swallowed milk which got into the air pipe of the lungs. The mixture of air and milk goes deep in the lungs to cause irritation in chest and cough.
Sometimes it can be dangerous(how?)
Why does this happen?
When we eat or drink air goes in our stomach in other words we swallow air .This air is accumulated in the stomach causing it to swell up called belching.Air is not absorbed in stomach or gut. It accumulate and increase in amount .That causes the gut to swell which in turn cause protruding swollen abdomen. But the gut and abdomen tries to come back to its original size so it pushes the air to get it out of the gut and stomach . There are two ways to get the air out of the gut
One is through lower side that is anus by passing stool or fart
Two is through upper side that is the mouth by belching
When baby is feeding on breast baby swallow air with breastfeeding (breast milk) . This causes air accumulation in the stomach of the baby . In order to get the air out of the stomach the air comes out of stomach through mouth accompanying with the ingested breastmilk ... causing vomiting.
This vomiting is aggravated by keeping the baby in lying position mostly in supine position. Research found that vomiting after feeding is more in case of supine position than in lateral position when you are keeping the baby in bed.
How to avoid the vomiting of the baby ?
To avoid or prevent the vomiting air swallowed by baby should be get out of the stomach by doing belching in mother's lap tapping gently or rubbing gently on the back of the baby after each feed keeping the baby held upright on mother's chest . Which is called BURPING.
