Question
My cousin’s baby often burps, and she wants to know if it’s normal for a two-month-old newborn to do so?
Answer
It is normal for a two-month-old newborn to burp. At this age, the baby’s diaphragm is not fully developed, and it can easily cause diaphragmatic spasm with slight stimulation, leading to burping. This is a common phenomenon in infancy and usually does not require excessive concern.
