Do you need to burp your breastmilk?

Babies may need to be burped for breast milk. After mom has her baby, make sure she eats enough. Try not to replace it with formula milk until you start breastfeeding. You should try to let your baby suckle on mom’s breast, which will promote milk production. When the baby burps after breastfeeding, gently patting can help the baby eliminate the air in the digestive tract and effectively relieve the occurrence of overflow and spitting up. Because the baby is small, the gastrointestinal function is not well developed, the capacity of the stomach is small, so the baby eats too fast, too much or the breastfeeding posture is not right, will cause the baby to inhale the air, resulting in the baby spit up. Therefore, drinking breast milk generally need to burp. In addition, babies need to be gently burped when drinking breast milk, avoiding too much force. Normally, when feeding, the whole areola should be completely put into the baby’s mouth to prevent gaps, and master the correct feeding posture can effectively reduce air inhalation.
