Patient's question:
The doll drinks milk and then burps every month. The duration varies, what could be the reason, and what is the best way to handle it? I want to know if the way I'm caring for the baby is wrong. I want to know how to burp the baby?Doctor's answer:
The parent uses one hand to support the baby's head and the other hand to hold the baby's buttocks, lifting the baby upright. The baby's head is then placed against the adult's shoulder. Using a cupped-hand technique, the parent gently pats the baby's upper back to slowly expel air from the baby's body. The baby is then seated on the parent's lap, with their side leaning against the parent's chest. The parent uses the crook of their elbow to support the baby's chin, while the other hand gently pats the baby's back in a cupped-hand manner.
