I never did over the shoulder, always sat DD on my lap with one hand under her chin the support her head and the other rubbing & patting her back. Always did the trick.
Actually, DH always did the over the shoulder thing which worked for him - I think that was to do with him having a flat chest and me well not! lol |

The Baby Whisperer gave some tips on Good Morning which have worked really well for Ben and alot of the time he burps instantly. Basically massage their tummy a few times while they are lying down, lift they up under the armpits so their body strtches out including their digestive system, sit them on your knee and pat their back.

| If you are having alot of trouble with it you might want to consider taking bubs to see an osteopath. It workked for me when my wee one was having issues with wind at the other end, plus I got seen to as well to make sure things were all right after giving birth. Make sire when you ring up that you will be bringing in a baby as not all osteopaths do babies |

Ty struggled big time with wind until he was around 3 months old... I tried alot of things, cutting out foods from my diet, gripe water, infacol, homeopathic remedies, tummy massage etc...... and found that what works brilliantly for one baby will do nothing for another.
What worked for me was Weleda Colic Powder before every feed. That and laying him down for a minute, then slowly bringing him up to sitting position and patting his back. I hope you find something that works for you! At the end of the day just know that he will eventually grow out of it  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| Rhuger mixture worked really well for Campbell's reflux and wind issues - http://www.dunedin-direct.co.nz/sites/chemist/balmac/rhuger.htm - linky . Its a little expensive, but worked really well for us. |
