Burping after feed

We’ve always had trouble burping our LG and for the last two weeks she’ll happily drink 5/6 ounces without needing to burp so we’re wondering if as they get older they don’t need to burp as much! She doesn’t struggle with trapped wind now if she doesn’t so I think it’s down to their digestive systems maturing x

Try all the different methods of burping:
- Over the shoulder
- Over your knee
- Sat upright
- Move/rotate them round whilst they're sat on your lap (sounds really silly but a midwife taught me this technique in hospital and I get the best burps out of my little man 🤣)

if I can't get him to burp after trying the above then I lay him down and change his nappy. Usually I get a nice burp after picking him up

Hope that helps 😊

If our boy doesn't burp now after a few minutes I just leave it. He wiggles round a lot more now, legs kicking and passing wind more. He does random little burps throughout the day and he seems fine x

If mine doesn't with the normal position (I think it's called the magic hold - sitting upright with hand on centre back) I tend to to put her upright on my chest, so her forehead is under my chin and then stand and jiggle gently up and down. Doesn't take long until she releases one

As they get older they burp less and start to learn to do it themselves, if I cant get a burp out I leave it and he usually brings up burps on his own maybe an hour after feeding...luckily he never seems in any discomfort with burps/trapped wind now!

My LG used to have trapped wind all of the time, so we did all different positions to wind her, did the bicycle kick method which did help sometimes & sometimes had to give her gripe water (infacol didn’t work on her at all).
