Patient's question:
My baby is only a month old, and he burps every time after eating. How should I deal with persistent burping in newborns?Doctor's answer:
Since the gastrointestinal function of infants is not fully developed, it may also be due to the baby eating too quickly or burping from excessive air. Therefore, it is essential to hold the baby while feeding. If the baby is fed with formula milk, the teat must be filled to avoid too much air entering. After each feeding, the baby must be gently held and patted for at least half an hour to hear the burping. Then the baby should be gently put down. Oral probiotics can also be used to massage the baby's abdomen. At the same time, a small amount of multiple feeding methods should be adopted. As the baby grows, it will gradually improve.
