Once the baby is done with the feeding you can probably put in on your shoulder while supporting his neck , and pat them and rub their back lightly,
POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Burping a baby helps release air swallowed during feeding and can prevent discomfort. Here are some effective methods for burping a baby:
1. **Over-the-Shoulder**:
- Hold your baby upright against your shoulder.
- Gently pat or rub their back with a soothing motion.
- Ensure their tummy is pressed against your shoulder for a bit of pressure.
2. **Sitting Position**:
- Sit your baby on your lap, supporting their chest and head with one hand.
- Gently pat or rub their back with the other hand.
- Lean them slightly forward to help release the trapped air.
3. **Face Down on Lap**:
- Lay your baby face down on your lap, supporting their chin and chest with one hand.
- Gently pat or rub their back with the other hand.
- Ensure they are comfortable and their head is slightly elevated.
4. **Gentle Movements**:
- Sometimes, gentle rocking or swaying while burping can help with the process.
**Tips**:
- Burp your baby during and after feeding, especially if they tend to swallow air.
- If the baby doesn’t burp after a few minutes, try a different position or continue feeding; they might still burp later.
If you have any concerns about your baby's burping or feeding habits, consulting your pediatrician can provide personalized guidance.
