Swallow

The mother's teat sphincter is too tight, the milk is too slow, or the teat is too short or even invaginated. When the child is eating milk, it is not easy to eat milk, so she sucks hard and swallows a lot of air in the process.

Some parents don't have a proper feeding posture, the bottle is slanted, the nipple is not filled with milk, and the child sucks a lot of air while sucking.
