Do I still need to burp a newborn when she falls asleep while being fed while lying down?

Do I still need to burp a newborn when he or she falls asleep while being fed? This is a question that many new parents face. Different people have different views on this issue. Some people think it is necessary, and some people think it is not necessary. So, is it necessary? Below, let’s take a closer look. Download the Encyclopedia of Newborn Baby Care in ultra-clear epub. First of all, we need to know why newborns need to be burped. The stomach and throat of newborns are not fully developed yet, so they are prone to swallowing a large amount of air when feeding. If the air is not discharged in time, it will easily lead to problems such as spitting up and overflowing of milk. The function of burping is to help newborns expel the air swallowed during feeding and reduce the occurrence of spitting up and overflowing milk. So, should a newborn still need to be burped when he or she falls asleep while being fed? The answer is yes. Although newborns fall asleep while lying down, they may still swallow air. If the air is not discharged in time, it may easily lead to spitting up, milk overflow and other problems. Also, if newborns fall asleep while feeding, their throat and stomach muscles relax, making it easier for them to swallow air. Of course, there are also some special circumstances that need to be considered when it comes to whether or not to burp a newborn when he or she falls asleep while being fed. If the newborn is already sleeping deeply and has no problems such as spitting up or overflowing milk, there is no need to forcefully wake them up to burp them. However, if your newborn has problems such as spitting up or overflowing milk after feeding, or you feel that they have swallowed a lot of air, you should wake them up and burp them even if they have fallen asleep. In general, newborns still need to be burped when they fall asleep while lying down, but this should be judged based on the specific situation. If the newborn is already sleeping deeply and has no problems such as spitting up or overflowing milk, there is no need to forcefully wake them up to burp them. However, if your newborn has problems such as spitting up or overflowing milk after feeding, or you feel that they have swallowed a lot of air, you should wake them up and burp them even if they have fallen asleep. Finally, I would like to quote a famous saying: \”There is no small matter in parenting, and you need to be cautious at all times.\” The health and safety of newborns are crucial. As parents, we should try our best to do every detail to ensure their healthy growth. I hope the above content can help you.
