Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How do I handle a newborn who keeps burping?Doctor's answer:
Newborn hiccups are mostly benign and self-limiting, and they will improve on their own in a short time. However, this can make the baby feel uncomfortable, so prevention should also be the primary approach for newborn hiccups.Children should not be fed when they are crying or feeling upset. When feeding, it is important to maintain the correct posture and position. For breastfed newborns, if the breast milk supply is abundant, it is best to avoid letting the milk flow too quickly. For formula-fed infants, it is also important to avoid feeding too hastily, quickly, with cold or hot milk, and to encourage slow and steady swallowing during feeding.
During hiccups, toys can be used to distract the baby, or gentle music can be played to help shift their focus and reduce the frequency of hiccups.
