The posture of burping a newborn baby is to take a sitting position, so that the baby is upright against the adult’s shoulder, gently patting the back, but other matters should also pay attention to, such as time, gestures and so on.
1. Choose the right time: the correct time to burp during or after feeding. In the process of breastfeeding pause feeding, burping at this time can slow down the newborn baby’s swallowing speed, thus reducing the inhalation of air. Burping after feeding can expel the remaining air.
2. Correct posture: Burp the baby to master the correct posture. Hiccups take a seated position, one hand to hold the baby’s head and neck, the other hand to support the baby’s buttocks, so that the baby upright against the hiccups of the shoulders, at this time, hold the head and neck of the hand can be turned to hiccups, pay attention to do not cover the baby’s mouth and nose.
3. The correct gesture: the correct gesture of hiccups is to use the hollow palm. The newborn’s body is delicate, the range of action should not be too large, not too long, you should use the hollow palm, gently buckle the baby’s upper back, the strength to feel a slight vibration as well, gently buckle the position of the two sides of the spine.
4. Appropriate order: the order of burping is recommended from bottom to top. Burping from the bottom to the top will help to fully expel the air sucked into the stomach and make it less likely to reflux.
