Over the shoulder, sitting upright, and other ways to burp a baby
: Drape a burp cloth over your shoulder in case your baby spits up, and place your baby against it. With your dominant hand, gently pat the baby's back. There's no exact spot to pat, just aim for the area that corresponds to the stomach, she says. : Sit your baby on your leg, and place a burp cloth over your lap. While carefully supporting your baby's jaw and chest with one hand, gently pat his or her back with the other.
Parents should feel free to experiment to determine what works best, Vallespir Ellett says. "It's just trial and error, and parent comfort and confidence." Just make sure you support the baby's head and neck properly, she says. Even if your child is not fussy, the AAP recommends burping your child regularly to slow eating and reduce the amount of air swallowed. For a bottle-fed baby, the AAP advises burping after every two to three ounces drunk.
Breastfed babies tend to swallow less air, and so may burp less. Even so, burping can help stimulate them and keep them awake to eat, Vallespir Ellett says.Babies don't always burp, so don't worry if yours doesn't. If he or she continues to fuss, try different burping positions and pay attention to how the baby responds. "If you've tried it all, sometimes you just have to wait it out," Vallespir Ellett says.
If your baby is acting very uncomfortable, they may have gas trapped lower in the intestinal tract which they need to expel out the other end. Vallespir Ellett suggests laying the baby on a firm surface, taking each leg in a hand and moving them in a bicycling motion. Over time, feeding and burping your baby will get easier, she says. "The more you do it, the more likely you are going to get to know your baby, and know their behavior and their habits."
