Hey, to all the breastfeeding mamas doing the feed at night, if your baby falls asleep while feeding do you wake them to attempt to burp them? I don’t but I don’t know if I should be or it would be better if I did?

He always falls asleep whilst feeding. I burp him and spend 30 minutes upright before put him in the crib.

I don't burp her if she is asleep... just pray she stays asleep while I transfer to the next to me!

I don’t burp him of a night, my son co-sleeps and will feed himself while I sleep in the night so I’m not even awake when he is finished and he is good and likes his arrangement lol.

I don’t burp him either, if I even try to do so he wakes up and there’s no way he would go back to sleep 😅

I have a windy baby so I put her up on my shoulder where she will snooze and kinda lightly tap/tub and I often feel some bubbles shifting, then keep her upright for 30 mins due to her reflux

I don’t burp my girl if she falls asleep. She’s never been a big ‘burper’ and doesn’t appear in discomfort if I don’t!

I’m lucky, my LB burps himself so I don’t burp him at all.

My baby is more sicky than windy, I just pick her up and sit up right with her sleeping against me for about 15 mins so she's hopefully bought up any sick she is going to and then lay her back in her crib x

I burp my LB (9 weeks old) after every feed. He pretty much always falls asleep whilst feeding. I never wake him to wind him. During the night he just sleeps through the winding process whilst I have him either sat or on my shoulder.
