Burping

I can't get my BF baby to burp at all during night feeds. I'll try between both breasts but he either is too sleepy or crying 😓 then when I put him in next to me to sleep he will grunt loudly and not settle! Anyone else?

I have this with my girl and I've found that waiting till she is asleep and putting her up on my shoulder for about 10 minutes stood up normally helps her burp in her sleep or just helps her tummy digest xx

@Trinity do you pat her back etc or just stand there? Xx

Very gently but typically just swaying and stepping round whilst gently rubbing from the bottom to the top of her spine works well for us :) xx

If you are doing both breasts I found that I will do one boob then try wind her, but I sometimes change her nappy to wake her up more so she’s more alert to burp better, maybe worth a try? X

My son is sometimes very difficult to burp. I try a mixture of these - On the shoulder whilst patting back, sat on my knee with my hand under his chin to support whilst patting back, rocking back and forth on my knee, lying him flat on my bed for 10 seconds and that sitting him back up, standing up whilst patting his back. I do a little tummy massage while he's lying down too x
