Hello, my baby doesn't burp at all after every feed. If I put on shoulders for 20 mins will that be enough is it equal to burping. Though I'm trying in all the different positions still she is not burping. And will they burp in sleep or not.

A. dear slowly you will get a hang of burping. meanwhile it is good idea to keep the head and chest at a level higher than stomach as this helps to reduce vomit. Burp in sitting position better than on shoulder
