The baby's hiccup is caused by the sudden contraction of the diaphragm, which is a very common situation. Generally, it will stop hiccups after a short time. It is harmless to the baby, and it will naturally relieve when the baby grows older. However, if the baby burps for a long time or attacks frequently, it will make the 'caregiver' feel a little uncomfortable.
What reason is belch after baby milk?
The causes of baby hiccups are as follows:
1. It often happens when the milk is just finished. It may be caused by the baby crying or eating too fast when feeding and swallowing a lot of air.
2. Sometimes the stomach is cold, or eating raw and cold food will also appear hiccups.
3. Other rare causes are associated with gastroesophageal reflux and diseases such as pneumonia, or with adverse drug reactions.
Some pregnant women may feel the baby burping in the first two or three months of pregnancy, or see the baby burping in the mother's belly during prenatal ultrasound examination. However, the most common age of frequent hiccups is in the first few months of life, and it usually improves after 1 year old.
Methods to prevent baby hiccups:
1. In case of hiccups and spills caused by gastroesophageal reflux, the baby can be allowed to stand upright on the adult's shoulder to exhaust after feeding, and do not let the baby lie flat for half an hour. After 4 months of age, rice flour or wheat flour can be added to increase the milk viscosity and prevent hiccups.
2. If the baby hiccups because of milk protein allergy, you can use the special formula according to the doctor's instructions.
3. Usually, the baby should be fed in a quiet state and environment. Never feed the baby when he is too hungry or crying.
4. Feeding posture should be correct, and eating should also avoid too fast, too cold and too hot.
5. When the baby burps, toys or soft music can be used to divert and attract the baby's attention, so as to reduce the frequency of hiccups.
6. Let the baby rest in the middle of the milk, let the baby stand upright on your leg, gently pat his back exhaust, belch can avoid continuous hiccups.
Once the baby burps, what is the solution?
1. If the baby's hiccup is caused by cold, the mother should hold the baby first, then pat his little back gently, then feed him some warm water, and cover his chest or stomach with warm clothes and quilts.
2. If the baby's hiccup is caused by too fast, too much milk or cold milk, hold the baby up and stimulate the bottom of his feet to make the baby cry. In this way, the baby's diaphragm contraction can be stopped suddenly, thus stopping hiccups.
3. Mummy can also hold up the baby who is belching and tickle the baby's mouth or ear with the tip of her index finger. When the baby cries, the hiccup will disappear naturally. Because, the nerve of the mouth is more sensitive, tickle can relax the nerve of baby's mouth, Hiccup also can disappear.
4. Mummy can also try to listen to music for the baby, or tease the baby with toys to distract her attention and stop the hiccup.
