How soon can you burp after breastfeeding

Usually, you can burp after 5 to 10 minutes of breastfeeding, and parents need to choose the appropriate method to burp according to the actual situation. As the baby’s digestive system is still immature, the cardia cannot contract well yet. The milk that enters the stomach after feeding may flow back into the esophagus, leading to choking. So parents need to burp the baby 5 to 10 minutes after feeding, parents can put the baby on the shoulder, use the same side of the arm to support the baby’s buttocks, so that its body stretches out. Then you can use the other hand to gently pat or caress the baby’s back to achieve the purpose of hiccups. Be careful not to burp too hard to avoid hurting your baby. Also pay attention to the baby’s behavior, if there is more crying, coughing, etc., you should immediately stop hiccups.
