Patient's question:
Newborn has a rumbling stomach, hiccups, the baby is two weeks old, the stomach keeps making gurgling sounds, severe hiccups, is it poor digestion? What are hiccups? What to do?Doctor's answer:
This is mainly because the baby inhales air while breastfeeding. After the air enters the stomach, the gas is lighter than the liquid, and it settles on top. When feeding, the child should fully grasp the nipple. If bottle-feeding, it is important to ensure that no air is left in the nipple. After finishing the milk, it is best to let the child lie on an adult's shoulder and pat their back to help expel the inhaled air. A little water can help relieve burping.
