The purpose of burping is to let the baby exhaust the air in the upper digestive tract through vibration and reduce the pressure on the stomach. Many mothers will burp after the baby drinks milk, but the correct way is to help the baby discharge the gas one by one during the process of drinking milk. The doctor suggests burping every 5 ~ 10 minutes, but it also depends on the baby's drinking water. If the frequency of burping is too frequent, it will interrupt the baby's willingness to drink milk and even lead to crying.
There are three ways to burp. First, put the baby's body straight on the shoulder, gently fix the baby with one hand, and arch the baby's upper back into a cup with the other hand.
The second way is for mommy to sit and let the baby sit on her lap and face herself. Hold the baby's head and mandible with one hand, and bow into a cup with the other hand to pat the baby's upper back. The third way is for mommy to sit with her legs crossed, put the baby horizontally, and let it lie down slightly. Mommy fixes the baby's lower body with one hand, and the other palm is cup-shaped, patting the baby's upper back. In the process of helping the baby turn around and get down, mommy can also put her hand on the baby's stomach to massage or pat her back, and then straighten up and burp.
What should the child do with flatulence? Infantile flatulence belongs to the category of "mass syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine. It is mainly caused by the loss of spleen health and qi stagnation, and it is a functional "pseudo-intestinal obstruction". Simply put, the gas is blocked in the intestine and can't get out.
Why is qi blocked? This is because the machine of the spleen rotates slowly. At this time, there is a small problem with the cooperation with the stomach. Children's spleen is often insufficient and their spleen and stomach functions are not perfect. Spleen and stomach are also the hinge of the ascending and descending of human qi, with spleen dominating ascending and stomach dominating descending; The spleen is in charge of delicate transportation in Shui Gu, and the stomach is in charge of rotten food. Only when the two are coordinated can the children's digestion and absorption function be achieved.
