A major part of the plot line is that Matilda is neglected/verbally abused by her parents.

A very very brief shot of a baby slightly spitting up in the first minutes. I’d have missed it but it’s pointed out in the lyrics.

Adding to the burp comment: it’s around the 46 minute mark and it’s one of the longest burps I’ve ever seen on film and the burp forms into a CGI cloud that is smelled/tasted by other characters. It’s quite something.

Technically the whole first song is in a hospital,however it's safely shown in a very whimsical way, nothing serious
Later on, near the 1 hour mark there's another scene within an imaginary section, a more realistic hospital

Some may be offended by the song "Bruce", in which a fat child is forced to consume an entire cake. The other children are being supportive of him in this number, but it does contain references to his weight.
