Why do newborns burp and poop?

Patient's question:

Recently, my baby has a very strange behavior: burping before having a bowel movement. Why is this? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the baby hiccups before each bowel movement is due to food accumulation leading to indigestion, which is related to factors such as an unbalanced diet, irregular eating habits, or a decline in spleen and stomach function after a cold. It is recommended to give the baby a proper diet, preferably light and easy-to-digest foods, some vegetables and fruits, while controlling meat and eggs, as well as some digestive medications, such as Compound Chicken Gold Powder for Children and Lactic Acid Bacteria Granules.
