Question
Is it uncomfortable for newborns to burp?
Answer
Newborns often burp after feeding, which may occasionally lead to spitting up. It is recommended not to lay the baby down immediately after feeding but instead keep the baby upright and pat their back. This can alleviate the burping. If the baby continues to feel uncomfortable, it is advisable to consult a doctor, as burping in newborns is common in normal circumstances due to their underdeveloped gastrointestinal function.
