How to treat baby burping after drinking milk

In daily life, many mothers may feel at a loss as to what to do with their babies and don’t know how to give their children a better life. In the following article, we are going to understand the principle behind baby burping when drinking milk and how to deal with the specific situation of the child’s travel!

Every baby will burp when feeding, some after feeding, some during feeding. Some babies hiccup a lot, while others hiccup very rarely. Some babies need help with hiccups, while others can handle them on their own.

Generally, babies who have trouble hiccuping will get better after 2 weeks, because the digestive system has adapted to the food and the baby can start to eat without swallowing air.

Sometimes your baby cries and makes a fuss. If you are sure that he or she is not hungry and wants to eat, it is very likely that he or she wants to burp. He (she) will lie on your chest, but not to suckle, but to get your comfort. At this time, it is best to let him (her) lie on your shoulder and pat his (her) back, or let the baby sit on your thighs, put the palm of one hand against his (her) chest, with the baby's chin located between your thumb and index finger, and pat his (her) back with the other hand.

If your baby pulls his knees up to his chest, makes a grimacing face, and appears to be in the throes of a hiccup, he may have swallowed some air while feeding. Pay attention to your baby's position during feeding: keep his or her head higher than his or her abdomen. A crying baby swallows too much air, so feeding him or her before he or she becomes uncomfortable can avoid this "vicious cycle."

From the article above, we learned that the reason why babies burp when drinking milk is first because the baby inhales air when drinking milk. The air in the lungs will cause the baby to burp when drinking milk. It is recommended that parents should gently pat their children before and after drinking milk.
