Proper burping techniques?
-
I'm having the hardest time getting a burp out of my newborn. She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable at all...but I barely ever hear/feel a burp come out of her. Could someone give me some tried and true burping techniques? P.S. She is being fed breastmilk from a bottle.

Answer:
I know 3 ways, either up on your shoulder, have them sitting on your lap and support their head (like under their chin area), or lay them across your lap and rub their back. Sometimes rubbing their back awhile will produce results when patting doesn't work.

If she is not fussing or uncomfortable, then stop worrying about it. All babies are different. Some don't burp much, others let out belches that would put an old man to shame. If she is fussing and seems to need to burp, try holding her sitting up on your lap with her chin on your hand. Rub or pat her back with the other hand.

hey thats the most easiest thing.. U need to hold the bady with their head resting on ur shoulder and pat gently on her back till she burp. This is the best way to do it as this really realase the gas formed inside the stomach from sucking bottle milk.

I used to have trouble burping two of my kids..........I used to sit them on my leg and hold under the jaw and pat their backs.......worked every time and yet sometimes they don't need to burp when you think so---if they didn't I would give them a bit more and try again.

when I just ant seem to get that burp out of my son, I will wait 15 min then try again. This usually works. Plus gentle bouncing help to get those bubbles up.

I couldn't get my baby to burp well either early on. (I'd think she'd got all her burps out and then she'd spit up all over the floor when I put her down.) Whenever we were visiting though my Mom would find another burp after I was done EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! Mom had a trick of starting patting low on the baby's back with each pat a little higher up to her shoulders. She'd repeat this pattern to work the bubbles upwards. Trust a Mom of three to know the tricks of the trade. It always worked like a charm! (Thanks Mom!!)

I use to pick my daughter up, slowly and gently. After a couple of times of this motion, she would burp. You might also try holding her upright and gently rubbing her back.

I have a technique and this one works for sure.Rub your child's back instead if patting her and this way she gets comfortable,she relaxes,goes to sleep and it takes half the time.Her burp will be more louder and longer it depends on how much she eats

first of all, if you can nurse her it would be best.they get less air nursing on the breast . second, i would sit my daughter on my lap and hold her under her arms and lift her gently up just enough to elongate her torso. bounce your legs gently like a easy pony ride. it seemed to let the air move up and out well. also when she was a little older(holding her head up) i would lay her on her tummy across my lap and bounce gently.she would burp and have fun at this method.

I used two different methods with both of my kids: Sit on my lap facing away from me, holding under chin, and patting on back. Put up on my shoulder with burp pad and patting on back. I nursed my son and he almost always burped in the process of getting him into one of those burping positions and again shortly there after. Is she a pooter? Does she pass gas? If she's not cranky and is still peeing and pooping regularly, I wouldn't worry about. If she had trapped gas, you would know. She would scream her head off.
