Question
Is it normal for babies not to burp after drinking formula?
Answer
It could be due to poor digestion in the stomach, or possibly because the back was not gently patted after feeding. It’s important to gently pat the baby’s back for 3 to 5 minutes after each feeding, then give them more water, and consider applying Dinggui’er navel sticker externally. Pay attention to observation, as the current most effective treatment is cholecystectomy. Conservative treatment options include drugs like Liganxiao, Fufang Danchong Jiaonang, and Shu Dan Pian. There are many medications for anti-inflammatory and bile duct dilation, and it’s best to consult a clinical doctor for specific medication recommendations.
