Why do newborn babies burp?

Burping is a common symptom in infancy. Non-stop burping is caused by diaphragm spasm and diaphragm continuous contraction. Diaphragm movement is controlled by autonomic nerve. One or two months after birth, because the development of autonomic nerve regulating diaphragm is not perfect, when the child is slightly stimulated, such as sucking cold air or sucking milk too fast, the diaphragm will suddenly contract, causing rapid inhalation and making a "burp" sound. Sometimes children burp for 5- 10 minutes, which seems very uncomfortable. However, burping itself has no adverse effects on children's health, so don't worry. There is a process of neural development after birth. Generally speaking, after 3 months, the child's diaphragmatic nerve development tends to be complete, and the hiccups will naturally improve. So your child is not sick. The baby's diaphragm is underdeveloped. Once the diaphragm or the chest and abdomen adjacent to the diaphragm are stimulated for some reason, the "snoring center" of the spinal cord will be affected, causing the baby to snore, which is uncontrollable. Secondly, please rest assured that the baby snoring is not as uncomfortable as adults think. Most of the baby's snoring is self-limited, and it will get better after a while, without the uncomfortable feeling of adults. Of course, it can prevent the baby from snoring. Well, mom is the happiest. So, let's find out why the baby snores.

There are usually three reasons:

1, it is improper nursing, which makes the baby inhale cold and stimulate the diaphragm;

2, it is indigestion caused by improper feeding and overeating. Feeding cold milk and drugs can stimulate the diaphragm to induce snoring;

3, eating too fast, or eating after crying, choking for a while, will also induce snoring.

In order to prevent the baby from snoring, the mother should pay attention to the baby's feeding method.

First of all, you should avoid feeding your baby when it is crying and depressed. Secondly, we should avoid eating too fast. When breastfeeding, if the breast milk is sufficient, press the nipple when breastfeeding to avoid excessive outflow of milk; Attention should be paid to nipple hole in artificial ingot culture. Again, pay attention to the temperature of the food, not too cold. Finally, we should pay attention to the method of nursing the baby, and don't let the baby drink cold air.

Don't worry when the baby snores. If the baby is not sick at ordinary times and snores suddenly, and the snoring is strong and persistent, mostly caused by catching cold, you can feed the baby some warm water and cover the chest and abdomen with warm clothes. If the baby snores frequently and has a long attack time, you can soak a little orange peel in boiling water and feed the baby after the water gets warm, which can alleviate snoring. If the baby can smell the sour smell when snoring, which is mostly caused by indigestion, you can massage your chest and abdomen, or drink some hawthorn water, so that you can't fight.

Of course, when the baby snores, you can also give him Doby with toys and play some soft music to distract him. Or pat him on the back, or reduce the frequency of snoring. When the diaper is wet or you drink too much milk at a time, you will burp. It's best not to feed when burping. Sometimes you just need to hold the baby and calm him down, and it's okay.
