Many parents often experience hiccups in their babies after they have eaten and drunk enough. When frequent hiccups occur, the baby will feel very uncomfortable, and many babies may even cry due to hiccups. So what should I do if my baby burps after eating?
It is common for children to experience hiccups after eating. In this case, it is recommended to give the baby more warm water, pat their back, or do something to distract their attention.
For example, telling babies some novel and happy things, or playing some toys or games they like, usually, hiccups will naturally stop and relieve unconsciously. If there are persistent hiccups that cannot be relieved, it may be caused by gastrointestinal problems and require taking some medication.
In fact, the symptoms of hiccups in babies are not simply caused by overeating. Many unhealthy eating habits or improper food intake can easily lead to the occurrence of hiccups.
For example, consuming difficult to digest food or eating some stimulating food can cause irritation to the stomach. It is also possible that the cold stimulation caused the stomach to catch a cold. Or when eating, drinking milk too quickly during meals can cause too much air to enter the stomach and intestines.
Therefore, in order to avoid frequent hiccups in infants, parents should pay special attention to their diet, cultivate good habits of chewing slowly, and avoid overeating in their diet.
