It is recommended to burp newborns after each feeding because their gastric cardia sphincter is relatively flaccid and prone to gastroesophageal reflux, and they tend to swallow too much air during swallowing, which can aggravate GERD. Of course, not all children can suffer from GERD. Some children do not burp or vomit or feel uncomfortable or bloated after eating, so burping is not always necessary. However, for some children, burping is recommended if they spit up or swallow milk, and some may even choke on their milk. It is recommended that the child be burped in a semi-sitting or semi-prone position, gently patting from the bottom to the top to expel the swallowed air and reduce the child’s gastroesophageal reflux. Therefore, burping for newborns varies from person to person, and if the child does not spit up milk without reflux or choking, burping can be done without burping. If the child does have GERD, burping is recommended. Of course, some children may not burp even after burping, so it is advisable to hold the child in a semi-recumbent position for a little longer to reduce GERD.
