#asktheexperts Baby is not burping properly what to do in that case ?

A. If your newborn isn't burping properly, here are a few steps you can take to help: 1. Adjust Positioning: Try different burping positions such as: Over the shoulder: Hold the baby against your chest with their chin resting on your shoulder. Sitting up: Sit the baby on your lap, supporting their head and chest while gently patting their back. Laying face down: Lay the baby across your lap on their tummy and gently rub or pat their back. 2. Be Patient: Burping may take some time. Give your baby a minute or two before trying again. 3. Gentle Movements: Sometimes walking around or lightly bouncing while holding the baby upright helps. 4. Try Mid-Feeding: Pause halfway through feeding for a burp attempt. This helps release any trapped air early. 5. Keep Upright After Feeding: Hold your baby upright for 10-15 minutes after feeding to help air bubbles rise. If your baby continues to have difficulty or seems uncomfortable, consult a pediatrician.
