Patient's question:
The child has been born for more than ten days. Sometimes, after feeding with milk or water, if the child does not fall asleep, they will burp for a long time, and nothing seems to work. It takes about 20 minutes of burping before it stops on its own. I want to ask what could be the reason for this and how to solve it?Doctor's answer:
Hello. It's a pleasure to assist you: If the baby is in good spirits and shows no other symptoms, there's no need to worry. It's also okay to let them cry a little. Everything will improve as they gradually develop. Follow the method of small, frequent meals. Alternatively, hold the baby upright after feeding to help with burping. Offering warm water more frequently can also help. If the baby frequently hiccups and also experiences poor appetite, weight loss, or frequent vomiting, it's important to take them to the hospital for a thorough examination.
