3. Babies who eat formula should burp at least every 3-5 minutes during the feeding process.
4. Don't let the baby lie down and eat;
5. Hold the baby upright for 20-30 minutes after each milk.
6. Don't squeeze the baby's abdomen or play vigorously after feeding.
7, try to feed him before he is extremely hungry.
8. When feeding with a bottle, make sure that the hole on the nipple is not too big (this will make the formula flow out quickly) and not too small (this will cause obstacles to the baby's feeding and allow him to swallow more air). After turning over the bottle, a few drops are dripped and then stopped, indicating that the hole on the nipple is the right size.
