I stopped burping Lily at 7 months, often I would sit there patting/rubbing her back and get nothing and even now she barely has wind. It normally comes out the other end lol! ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:55:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244434&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244434 <![CDATA[Learning to burp by themselves : have you tried massaging her tummy...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244279&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244279 Author: nannyabbey

have you tried massaging her tummy before you sit her up to burp? Our bubba held on to his wind and we found this helped a little. just above their nappy line.....you could google the sharlene Poole the 'baby whisperer' - its part of her technique. Our bubba also slept on his tummy which worked wonders!

We also use Colimed (nutrapharm) and took him to an osteo but that is an extra cost. good luck! ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 21:08:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244279&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244279 <![CDATA[Learning to burp by themselves : Wow...

Wow... I stopped burping DS more than a month ago. He used to need heaps of patting to get up the wind, but he genuinely doesn't need that now at all. I know that's no use to you, sorry, I just couldn't help buy comment because I was surprised. That's the first thing he's ever done earlier than other babies ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 20:38:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244220&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244220 <![CDATA[Learning to burp by themselves : Sorry, but we&#039;re still burping...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244112&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244112 Author: shadowfeet

Sorry, but we're still burping now at 13 months. Often it's just sitting her on our knee after a bottle but once every couple of days we have trouble bringing up her wind. We don't give her anything for it though because it's only about 10-15 minutes of trying before bed.

I try everything, sitting on my knee is usually the best or the floor. I have tried patting or rubbing her back, leaning forward, no nappy on, over my shoulder, on her tummy/crawling around. She has never burped lying down and has never been a spilly baby. I try and get her to watch something so she sits still for a moment so the air can escape, but it doesnt always work.

oh and she has always been a good burper, its just the stupid little ones at the end that have been getting worser and worser (i know its not a word, but it works! lol)

I stopped *burping* him like 7months ish. This is when he stopped spilling too. (hurrah!) He's always been a pretty good winder tho. And his rolling at night helps I guess, I'll often hear him turn over let out a burp and be sound asleep in seconds.

I'm sorry I haven't any proper tips for you ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:43:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244049&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244049 <![CDATA[Learning to burp by themselves : Golly, I am not sure when DS starting...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244043&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244043 Author: Nutella

Golly, I am not sure when DS starting bringing up wind on his own but think it was about that age, maybe a wee bit earlier?? Not sure, seems like ages ago now haha!

What method are you using to bring up the wind? Maybe a change in style might help now she is older?]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:35:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244043&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244043 <![CDATA[Learning to burp by themselves : I remember at about the same age...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244039&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244039 Author: tiptoes

I remember at about the same age DS was burping by himself but not enough. So I'd still need to wind him too or if I put to sleep he'd be sick. But he seemed happy enough without the extra burping. I can't remember exactly when I stopped needing to burp him myself, but maybe a couple of months after that?

No answers on helping bring it up easier though, as infacol is what we've always used too.]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 18:30:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1244039&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1244039 <![CDATA[Learning to burp by themselves : At what age did your child learn...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1243980&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1243980 Author: Nothing

At what age did your child learn to burp by themselves- not just the wind coming up when they are upright.

My DD has major wind issues, but it doesnt seem to bother her- just me! She still hasnt learnt to burp by herself- her burps are just the wind coming up when they feel like it. She quite often has a BF before bed, she will then do a couple of really good burps, I will lie her down for a wee while (she doesnt roll), and sit her up and she will have some more. However after putting her to bed she wont go to sleep (i have tried leaving her), and i often spend up to an hour trying to get a tensy tiny burp out. Other times i can hear the liquid sloshing about in her stomach like a drink bottle, but the burps just wont come up.

Infacol doesnt work, and water brings wind up but then gives her more, I cant really afford to buy anything else to help.

I suppose im lucky in the fact that she is happy and smiley the whole time, but i really would like to be able to feed her, burp her and put her in bed and not have to go back in over and over. Any ideas? ]]> Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:41:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37543&PID=1243980&title=learning-to-burp-by-themselves#1243980
