The importance of burping for babies

Basically, burping in babies is normal and not a problem. Even burping helps the baby to release excess gas from the stomach.

When we breathe, the air we breathe contains gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Similarly, when you eat or drink, your mouth does not only contain food and water, but also gas. Excess gas in the stomach will then rise to the esophagus and out of the mouth when belching.


Burping is important for babies

Rot is a simple condition for adults, but rot is an important thing to do in infants. When the baby drinks, air bubbles in the drink enter and accumulate in the stomach. Burping baby will prevent the baby's stomach from feeling swollen. In addition, belching can relieve babies suffering from colic and excess stomach acid.

Babies who drink bottled milk need to burp more often than those who eat directly in the breast. This is because bottled milk contains more air bubbles than breast milk.

The following steps can be taken to reduce this risk:
  • You can choose milk bottles labeled with anti-Catholic which are designed to reduce the air content of milk and bottles.
  • Make sure the pacifiers in the bottle are the right size for your baby's mouth.
  • Position the baby sitting while drinking and eating to reduce the amount of air swallowed.
You can make it burp when the baby looks uncomfortable or cry, especially after eating. If the baby is poor, you can burp from one breast to another. If the baby drinks from a bottle, you can gently pat his back to start burping after drinking half a bottle or after finishing.

How to make a rotten baby

As a general rule, babies who burp to expel fluids with air. Therefore, prepare an apron or small towel before continuing. There are several different ways to make a baby burp, including:

  • Put the baby on the chest
This method is suitable for newborns before they can support their own head. Try to put the baby on your chest with your chin on your shoulder. Then hold your head and shoulders with your hands. Finally, lightly pat his back.
  • Sit on your lap
This method is usually used when the baby is sitting on your lap. Use one of your hands to support the baby's body. Place one of the palms to support the chest, while your fingers support the jaw and chin. But do not let your hands strangle his neck or throat. Let the baby lean against one hand while the other rubs or gently knocks on the back.

  • Prone to kneel

To begin, place the baby on its stomach on your lap. Support your chin and jaw with one of your hands. Place the baby's head slightly higher than his body. Tap or gently rub your back with the other hand.

If, as noted above, your baby will not burp after a few minutes, he really doesn't want to burp. But if he looks uncomfortable, try changing his position. If that doesn't work, you can use other methods to relax it, like washing with warm water or massaging your stomach to help extract air from your stomach. Abdominal massage is done in a circular motion slowly and clockwise.

Talking or singing while stroking her back can help babies feel relaxed and easier to burp. But there are times, despite various ways, the air in the baby's digestive tract cannot be removed. In this condition you can consult a pediatrician.

As we get older, burping in babies will occur naturally without help. Generally, from 4 to 6 months, babies can drink milk or breast milk more efficiently without swallowing a lot of air. At this age, babies can also burp after eating.

After your child begins to understand what you are saying, ask him to belch politely. Although belching is a good and natural thing, the sound can disturb the comfort of others. It would be more polite and better to vomit by closing his mouth and in a low voice. Rotting in infants is not dangerous, only when the baby burps less often can cause vomiting, falling and bloating.

But beware if an erection in a baby is followed by other disorders, such as fever, diarrhea, bloody stools, and severe vomiting in infants after eating. If the baby has these symptoms, see a doctor immediately.
