What should I do if my child always burps after feeding?

After a child is breastfed, parents will choose to wean the child. During the weaning period, the child needs to be fed with milk powder. When the child drinks milk powder, the parents need to hold the bottle for the child. This may cause the milk to be blocked in the esophagus when the child drinks. This situation is very likely to cause the child to hiccup. Next, I will tell you what to do if your child always burps after feeding.

Hiccups are very common in newborns. Improper feeding methods, the baby eating too much milk, the mother's nipples are inverted, or the bottle is empty or the nipple is not full of milk, etc., will cause the baby to swallow a lot of air. Therefore, after feeding, the baby should be gently held up with the mother's head resting on the shoulder, and the baby's back should be patted to expel the air in the stomach. If you don't help your baby to expel gas in time after feeding, your baby will hiccup.

Also, everyone knows that babies love to cry. When babies cry loudly, they will swallow a lot of air, causing hiccups, so don't feed your baby immediately after crying.

1. Don't give your baby too much milk at a time. If he drinks too much milk, it will fill his stomach and cause the milk to overflow into the esophagus. When the baby breathes, the air will come into contact with the milk in the esophagus, causing hiccups and even milk regurgitation and vomiting everywhere.

2 After the baby finishes drinking milk, hold him upright and pat his back gently a few times to let him spit out the air he inhaled into his stomach while drinking milk, and reduce the phenomenon of hiccups when the stomach digests and absorbs milk.

3 After patting the baby, gently put it on the bed for about half an hour to avoid shaking its stomach when holding it and walking around, which may cause hiccups and spitting up milk.

4. Put a small belly band on your baby to prevent its stomach from getting cold. A cold stomach will not only make your baby feel uncomfortable in the stomach and intestines, but also cause constant hiccups, dry milk, and crying.

Precautions

The above are all personal experiences. It is particularly effective to pat the baby’s back and put him on the bed after drinking milk. Occasional burping will not cause the milk to return. It is very troublesome when a baby stops feeding. Not only do you have to change his clothes, but he may also choke.
