Patient's question:
Moreover, sometimes it takes twenty minutes to burp the baby, and this process has to be repeated several times. Feeding once can take nearly an hour, but in reality, the baby doesn't swallow much. Is there any way to prevent the baby from swallowing air?Doctor's answer:
The baby cries while breastfeeding, one possibility is that he can't get the milk properly and is crying out of frustration. If it's not that, it could also be that the milk flow is too fast, causing him to choke uncomfortably. If the milk flow is too fast, the baby is prone to choking. In such cases, you can use your finger to gently block the flow. Another possibility is that the baby is in a bad mood or has been startled. If the mother determines that the issue is a fast milk flow, as long as the feeding posture is correct, gently using a hand to slow down the flow should suffice. There's also a possibility that the baby has entered a weaning phase.
