Question
Why does a baby cry after finishing breastfeeding and burping?
Answer
Crying after breastfeeding and burping is a normal phenomenon in infants, usually due to air in the stomach. Proper breastfeeding techniques can reduce this situation, such as using the appropriate bottle and avoiding the baby from swallowing air. If the crying persists or is severe, it’s advisable to consult a doctor, who may suggest taking medications that promote gastrointestinal motility to help expel air from the gastrointestinal tract.
