How and how long does the newborn hiccup? Introduction to the correct method of hiccup for the baby

Newborn babies of one or two months may have hiccups after drinking milk because their development is not sound enough. So how to hiccup the baby and what should we pay attention to? The following is a detailed introduction:

1、 Hiccup time

The best precaution is to burp your baby often during feeding, even before the baby is uncomfortable. Because stopping feeding temporarily and changing posture can slow down the baby's swallowing and reduce the air he swallows.

If the baby is fed artificially, belch once every 150ml; If you are breastfeeding, you should try to use the natural pause time in the feeding process to burp your baby, such as when the baby releases the pacifier or sucks another breast.

After feeding, burp the baby again. If your baby is having a good time, you'd better not interrupt him for burping. Otherwise, it may make the baby cry and let him swallow more air.

2、 Hiccup method

(1) Lie face down on your lap and burp. Put the baby's face down on your thighs, hold him with one hand and pat or touch the baby's back with the other hand.

(2) Burp on your shoulder. Put the baby on your shoulder and hold the baby's ass with the same arm. At this time, the baby's body is vertical and extended, so this is usually the easiest position to burp the baby. Pat or touch the baby's back with your other hand;

(3) Sit straight and burp. Let the baby sit on your lap, lean forward, hold his chin with his hand, hold his shoulder, and pat or touch the baby's back with the other hand;

3、 Precautions for burping

1. Pay attention to burping after the baby falls asleep. Some parents feel that the baby should not burp when he is asleep, which will wake the baby up. In fact, this view is incorrect. Because the baby will not burp because he is asleep, and the burping gas will be discharged. If the baby spits milk or chokes milk after falling asleep, it is a very dangerous situation. Therefore, the sleeping baby needs to burp more, and must hold it up and pat it. The key point is that the burping action should be gentle and correct, so as to avoid excessive strength, so as not to make the baby uncomfortable or wake the baby.

2. When burping the baby, parents must pay attention to the control of their own strength. Because the baby is young, many organ functions are not yet mature. If the beating position is incorrect and the beating force is too strong, it will hurt the baby.

3. Don't shake the baby after drinking milk. Violent shaking is easy to make the baby dizzy and spit milk more easily. In addition, the baby's brain development is not perfect. If the baby shakes violently, the baby will also have the symptoms of 'baby shaking syndrome'. Some symptoms may occur, such as restlessness, drowsiness, constant drooling, limb weakness, convulsions, vomiting, even accelerated breathing, hypothermia and slow heartbeat. In severe cases, it will appear coma, cardiac arrest, pupil dilation and even death.
