It is normal for babies to burp while drinking milk. Some pregnant mothers think that burping after drinking milk means they are full, so they stop giving their babies milk. Not long after the baby burped, she cried again. The mother didn't know what to do and wanted to breastfeed the baby to comfort her, but she didn't know if it was feasible. So, can babies drink milk just after hiccups?
In fact, during the process of drinking milk, babies inevitably inhale some air, which makes their stomachs uncomfortable. Babies will then use barriers to expel the air from their bodies. If not expelled, babies are prone to spitting milk. So the baby cannot be fed immediately after being separated, and needs to wait for a few minutes to help the baby separate, while also checking if the baby is still hungry before feeding. If you continue breastfeeding without feeling hungry, it will expand the baby's stomach capacity and cause frequent vomiting.
During the process of adjusting the baby's hiccups, parents need to learn some techniques to help the baby completely break out the septum. The most commonly used technique is to hold the baby upright, support the cervical spine, gently pat, and keep patting for about five minutes. Another small trick is to let the baby who has just finished drinking milk sleep on their side. After about 20 minutes of sleep, the baby can be placed flat to sleep. If you sleep flat from the beginning, it is easy to choke on milk, and in severe cases, you may suffocate. So, when you notice a baby hiccuping while drinking milk, it's best to first help the baby finish the interval and then observe if the baby is still hungry. If the baby is still hungry, of course, you need to satisfy them.
