Many parents believe that burping is necessary for breastfeeding newborn babies, otherwise it may cause vomiting, while some parents feel that burping is not necessary because even after burping, the baby may still vomit, so it is better not to burp. So, should newborns burp after breastfeeding? Now let's talk to the parents about this issue.
After feeding a newborn baby, it is necessary to pat them apart. Even if the baby may still vomit after burping, it will greatly reduce the probability of vomiting. For example, when there is no interval, if a baby eats milk 10 times, they may experience vomiting 4-6 times. After breastfeeding, babies who burp may vomit 2-4 times, or even less. Therefore, it is recommended that parents burp their babies after feeding them.
Before burping a baby, parents should first find a comfortable position to sit or stand, and then place a soft handkerchief on their shoulder. This way, even if the baby spits milk, they will not get hurt when burping the baby.
When burping a baby, parents should first hold the baby's head with their hands, then gently stand the baby up, let the baby's mouth rest on their shoulders, or tilt the baby's head to one side, and then pat the baby's back. If the baby is already 3 months old, parents can have the baby sit on their lap and burp them.
