Hi, My baby is 16 days old. He takes very long for burping and sometimes he doesn't even burp. If I make him sleep without burp he gets uneasy and milk comes out of his mouth. Sometimes even after burp he spits. Please suggest how can we make him burp easily after every feed. He is only on breastfeed. Also is it important to make him burp after every feed.

Question

Accepted Answer

the recurrent stretching / curving of the body again and again as well as uncomfort / making grunting sounds as well as hiccups as well as colic pain all are due to gas in the intestine and stomach.
it is very important that after giving milk to the child you
 should keep the child in upright position and do burping for 15 to 20 minutes.
do not keep the child back on the bed after 1 burping because one time burping will not remove all the gas and if the gas is not removed profperly it will lead to 
colic pain and more hiccups again and again.
keep the child in upright position whether you hear the burping fsound or not and also it is not important that you will hear the sound when the child removes the air from the oral cavity.
