Reasons and remedy of excessive burps

Burping around 3 to 4 times after a meal is considered as normal. It happens because while eating food, we swallow some air also. This air comes back as a burp.
You have mentioned that you are facing this problem after entering into motherhood, so I guess the probable reason would be your eating habits.
You can follow the bel mentioned points to avoid excessive burping-
1. Eat food slowly. If we faster, we swallow more air which may result in excessive burping.
2. Avoid carbonated drinks as carbonated drinks contain air bubbles and cause burping.
3. If you have a smoking habit, try to avoid that.
4. Drink water after meal. It helps to settle down food. If you are not having a habit of drinking after immediately after the meal, you can take a few sips.
5. Having a small baby, it is difficult to get time for yourself. But try to manage some time to walk or exercise. This will help you to boost your digestion and metabolism.

Take normal homemade food and adopt a habit of drinking mild hot water at least after the meal.

Even after following all these points, if you don't feel relaxed, then it is better to consult a doctor for the same.

Burping or belching is not a serious medical condition but is inconvenient and embarrassing. It is a reflex of the our digestive system and could be associated with indigestion or dyspepsia. There are many ways suggested to reduce the burping though it can not be removed at all.

The main cautions one has to keep is take the food slowly and not gulp it down. In our Ayurveda system it is strongly suggested to chew the food completely before swallowing it down the food pipe. One has to take less spicy and less hot food as they are the catalyst to create burps. It is generally seen that women get the stomach slightly inflated after the cesarian surgery and due to the extra volume the upward thrust on the alimentary canal increases producing the burps. With proper life style and food habits it is possible to contain the frequency of these burps.

Another important thing is one has to take sufficient soups and other liquid diets and avoid dry swallowing. It is the trapped air in between the dry swallowing that create problem after taking the food. It will be a good idea to take little water while eating intermittently. If the burping is associated with acidity and such ailments of stomach like malfunctioning of the oneway biological valve between the food pipe and stomach then it will be advisable to consult a doctor for the same. Light exercises like walking are advised to the women after the delivery for bringing the body back to shape. That is very essential and will also help in reducing the excessive burping.

5. inflammatory bowel disease
6. if you have undergone any surgery recently and after that, if the problem started, burping may be due to a blockage in the intestine.
Among the above, if this is due to the reason 6 mentioned above you have to contact the doctor and get checked by him.
Some home remedies for the above problem.

2. Eat slowly, chew more keeping the mouth closed.
3, Have small bites only.

Burping is attributed to the improper functioning of the movement of food and air in the alimentary canal. It is worsened when the person is suffering from acidity. The gastroesophageal sphincter (ring of muscle) at the joint of food pipe (esophagus) and stomach acts as a valve that allows food into the stomach but not back up into the esophagus. Sometimes this valve fails or malfunctions and stomach acid enters the oesophagus and this conditions generates acid feeling in the mouth. Burping can be there in absence of this acidity problem.
