Newborn babies who cannot burp may be caused by incorrect burping method, correct breastfeeding posture and unreasonable feeding. Parents should correct the burping posture, hold the baby vertically to help exhaust, and feed the baby reasonably to improve the situation.
1. Incorrect burping method: The incorrect burping method of parents may cause the newborn baby to be unable to burp. Parents should correct the burping posture, after breastfeeding, the newborn should be completely vertical hold, with the fingers of the other hand and palm together and knocking, and then gently pat the newborn’s back, which is the more correct way to burp.
2. Correct breastfeeding posture: not all newborns are able to burp after drinking milk. If the breastfeeding posture is correct, inhaling less air, may not be able to burp. You can hold your newborn upright for a while to help him ventilate and reduce the chance of spitting up.
3. Irrational feeding: If the newborn is too hungry and eats milk too quickly, it may lead to too much air inhalation and no hiccups. Parents are advised to feed their children small amounts of food and not to let them starve for too long.
If your newborn can’t burp, there is no need for special treatment if there is no discomfort. Be careful not to breastfeed your newborn immediately when he or she cries to avoid swallowing too much air.
