Most babies burp from time to time. Often babies themselves do not care about hiccups, but parents are very troubled. If your baby starts burping while nursing, give him a different position, try burping or helping him relax until he stops burping before continuing feeding. If he hasn't stopped burping after 5-10 minutes, try feeding for a few more minutes, which usually gets him to stop burping. If your baby burps frequently, try to feed him when he is quiet and not wait for him to be hungry, which usually reduces the number of hiccups when the baby is breastfeeding.
Hiccups
Babies often swallow some air when they feed, which makes him feel uncomfortable and irritable. While this can happen to both breastfed and formula-fed babies, it is more likely to occur in babies who feed with bottles. At this time, it is best to stop feeding and not let the baby continue to feed while crying. Constant struggle and crying cause the baby to swallow more air, which can increase his discomfort and even make him spit out milk. Try burping your baby often, even if he's not uncomfortable. Pausing feeding and adjusting posture can slow down the infant's swallowing speed, thereby reducing the amount of air being swallowed. Formula-fed babies should burp 60 to 90 ml of milk after they have eaten them. If breastfeeding is performed, the mother can burp the baby while feeding on the other side.
Spit up milk
Spitting up milk is also a common phenomenon in infancy. Spitting up milk sometimes means that a baby's milk is more than his stomach can, sometimes when he burps or drools. Spitting up milk can be a bit of a hassle, but caregivers generally don't have to worry. Spitting up usually does not cause the baby to choke, cough, feel unwell or dangerous, even when the baby is asleep. Even if babies vomit often, their optimal sleeping position is still on their backs. Be careful to lay the mattress flat and don't deliberately raise your head. Some babies spit up more often, but most get better after he sits. A small number of babies with very severe spitting will continue to spit until they start toddlers or switch to cup drinking, and some may continue to spit for a full year.
It is important to understand the difference between normal spitting up and real vomiting. Most babies don't even notice that they're spitting up, but vomiting is not, because the response is more intense, often causing a lot of pain and discomfort to the baby. Vomiting usually occurs shortly after eating, and the amount of milk vomited is more than usual. If your baby vomits frequently (one or more times a day) or if there is blood-like or yellow-green substance in the vomit, you should contact your doctor immediately.
Although it is impossible to completely solve the problem of spitting up, the following methods can help reduce the frequency of spitting up and reduce the amount of spitting.
Keep every feeding as quiet, peaceful and enjoyable as possible.
Avoid interruptions, sudden noises, bright lights, and other distractions during your baby's feeding process.
Burp at least every 3 to 5 minutes during the feeding of formula-fed infants.
Do not let the baby lie flat to feed.
After each feeding, hold the baby upright for 20 to 30 minutes.
Do not squeeze your baby's abdomen or allow him to work vigorously when just after feeding.
Feed as much as possible before he is extremely hungry.
When feeding with a bottle, make sure that the hole in the nipple is not too large (the hole is too large to make the milk flow out too quickly) or too small (the hole is too small to prevent the baby from feeding, allowing him to swallow more air). If the bottle is flipped over and a few drops of milk are taken out and then stopped, the hole in the nipple is the right size.
