burping

Hi khast, unfortunately it depends on the baby! Things like how good her latch is, how fast your letdown is, what time of day it is, how long it's been since her last feed, what positions you feed her in all make a difference.

She is likely to need to be winded though, my little guy didn't to start off with but once my milk properly came in he did, he will come off the boob in the middle of a feed needing to be burped.

When she's unsettled and you're not sure if it's wind, some of the tell-tale signs are pulling her legs up towards her chest, and an "eh" sound in her cry.

Oh, and if you want to see techniques in action, YouTube is wonderful!

Also, don't beat yourself up if she doesn't burp - sometimes they're just stubborn and won't burp even if they need to, and sometimes they just don't need to.

I have always sat caden on my knee and I lean him forward a bit and pat his back and rub it in circles and up and down, just pat lightly though, or pat their bottom.
Or I put him over my shoulder.

It depends on the baby really, but its always good to try and burp them after each feed, just in case, sometimes caden does tiny little burps but it all helps, and sometimes he does huge massive ones and I wonder how something so big can come of something so little lol

i always burped my kids after feeding, but sometimes they never brought any wind up.   charli didn't seem to have as much wind as jack. usually over the shoulder or on my knee worked best. even just holding them upright after a feed for a few minutes helps

They had a thing on good morning the other week of a "No fail" technique. it hasnt been completely no fail for us but has been definitely better than just patting or rubbing.
Leave him lying on your legs for 30 or so seconds to rest the air bubble, then gently kneed his tummy 2 -3 times like bread to loosen the bubble, lift him up holding him in front of you for a couple of seconds to balance it, then sit them on your knee, supporting his chin with your hand and pat few times. We get some whoppers out of her now, its great. Ali doesnt settle well if shes not burped or will wake after 20 mins and cry. i sometimes have to do it 2 times but it is pretty effective.
It definitely depends on the baby to how long you burp them for too, i think i stopped when my boy was 6 months, im not sure about anyone else though.
Goodluck

opps didnt read the other post obviously! its the same!
