Patient's question:
The newborn is 26 days old today. They burp frequently, about 3 to 5 times a day. Sometimes it happens before feeding, and sometimes after feeding. The feeding time is long and intermittent, lasting about 1 hour. They also have a stuffy nose. A few days ago, they had severe abdominal bloating, which has recently improved but is still slightly bloated. What could be the reason for the high frequency of burping in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Hello, child After feeding, pick up the child and gently pat their back from bottom to top to help expel air that has entered the stomach. Do not let the child cry for too long before feeding, as this can cause them to swallow a lot of air. If the child has a bloated stomach, you can help massage their stomach in a clockwise direction regularly. Drink more water. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm. If the child is always eating, it is easy to get bloated. It is recommended to seek treatment at a professional hospital.
