When babies are young, their digestive tracks are not fully developed and feeding times can lead to many instances of discomfort. Since the only way babies know how to communicate discomfort is to cry, it is important to pick up on cues or early signs of discomfort and learn the practices to avoid situations that lead to discomfort. Discomfort can be caused by swallowing air. Swallowing air during feeding can be quite uncomfortable and lead to an upset stomach, gassiness or vomiting. That is why I will explain the importance of burping your baby after every feeding. It is suggested that swallowed air usually occurs more often in bottle feeding than with breastfeeding because babies that are breastfed tend to swallow less air since they are more capable of controlling the rhythm of breastfeeding and can coordinate breathing and swallowing. However, I still recommend burping after every meal regardless of bottle feeding or breastfeeding.
