Many young parents do not know much about how to take care of their first baby when it is born. The baby will have symptoms of hiccups after feeding breast milk. In fact, parents can prevent hiccups by changing the feeding posture when feeding the baby. Below we will explain in detail the correct way to burp a baby - how to burp a newborn baby. Parents can come and learn about it.

1. How to burp a newborn

1. The baby will burp when he lies down after feeding. This is because when newborn babies suck milk, they suck hard and swallow too much air, causing bloating. Therefore, parents can hold the baby upright after the baby finishes drinking milk, let the baby's head rest on their shoulders, gently pat the baby's upper back with their hollow palms, hold the baby upright for half an hour, and then let the baby lie down; or parents can gently massage the baby's abdomen to help expel gas, which can also effectively prevent the baby from hiccups or milk regurgitation.

2. Parents should have the correct feeding posture, and let the baby sit diagonally on their laps to drink milk. When feeding, they should also avoid letting the baby drink too quickly or the milk is too cold or too hot.

3. Parents should not feed the baby when the baby is too hungry or crying too hard. Feeding should be done in a quiet environment.

4. You can feed your baby small amounts of milk frequently. Let your baby take a break halfway through feeding, pat your baby’s diaphragm to release the gas, and then let your baby drink the remaining milk. When your baby hiccups, you can also feed him some warm water, or use toys that interest him to attract his attention, so as to improve the hiccups.

5. If the baby's hiccups are caused by gastroesophageal reflux, parents can let the baby lean upright on the parent's shoulder to pass gas after feeding, and do not let the baby lie flat within half an hour. When the baby is 4 months old, complementary foods can be added to increase the viscosity of the milk to prevent the baby from hiccups.

1. Avoid inhaling excess air: Pay attention to the feeding posture, let there be less air in the milk, etc., so that the baby can avoid inhaling excess air while feeding.

2. Pay attention to the posture of drinking milk:

Breastfeeding: Mothers must carefully learn various breastfeeding positions, adjust the position before each feeding, and then let the baby start sucking.

Bottle feeding: Whether you hold your baby while feeding or let your baby lean against other objects to feed, pay attention to the posture of head high and body low, and it is also necessary to maintain a certain tilt angle.

3. Brewing method: When preparing milk powder for your baby, you should first add an appropriate amount of warm water and then add the milk powder. This can prevent the milk powder from clumping, causing the nipple to be blocked and causing excessive air to be inhaled.

4. Use of pacifier: In addition, when shaking the bottle, it is best to hold the bottle sideways and shake it left and right to avoid shaking it up and down and increasing the gas in the bottle.

5. Hold at least 2/3 of it: When putting the nipple or pacifier into the baby's mouth, the baby should hold at least 2/3 of it, and make sure it is on the baby's tongue, otherwise the milk will overflow and the baby will easily inhale too much air. For babies who often suffer from bloating, you can choose anti-bloating nipples and bottles.

6. Let your baby drink less: The air in the bottle will usually gradually remain at the top (forming white bubbles), so it is best not to let your baby drink up all the milk in the bottle. This can also reduce the amount of gas entering the body.
