Is burping for newborns to burp?

Patient's question:

My baby has been born for a month, but after drinking milk every time, the baby keeps burping, and I always burp the baby after burping, but it still burps. Now I want to ask, is burping to make the baby burp?

Doctor's answer:

The purpose of burping is to prevent the baby from burping. Because if the baby burps, it will feel uncomfortable and may spit up milk. Because if the baby drinks milk, it may swallow air, so after drinking milk, it will stabilize for a while and then pick up the baby, patting its back from bottom to top with an empty hand to burp. Children are young and have poor digestive function. The purpose of burping is to prevent children from vomiting and burping. In this case, it is first necessary to follow the principle of eating less and more frequently. No one should eat too full, and probiotics can be appropriately increased under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the intestinal flora, improve digestion, and gently pat the child's back after each feeding. It is essential to keep warm and avoid catching a cold. Children will get better as they grow up.
