  If a baby frequently burps and spits milk, mothers must give it enough attention, which may be due to the baby's incomplete development or the mother's milk flow rate being too fast. The following method can be used to solve this problem.

  Firstly, slow down the feeding speed. After the baby has eaten a certain amount, it is recommended to let the baby rest to avoid bloating after eating. During the rest period, gently pat the baby's back to prevent hiccups.

  You can also change the position of feeding the baby with milk. Generally speaking, if the baby is tilted at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees, there will not be too much air entering the baby's body while feeding.

  Mothers must also learn more about maternal and child knowledge, master the correct breastfeeding methods, so that babies can hold their nipples and areolas in the correct way. Mothers can also try this method of letting their babies stand upright for a period of time to prevent them from experiencing acid reflux after being full, which can lead to hiccups and vomiting of milk.
