Burping advice

Can’t get my baby to burp at night!! She used to not burp at all but we finally got her burping during the day (thank goodness) but I still can’t get her to burp at night because she just passes out after she eats. Then she’s gets more and more gassy and fussy as the night goes on. Any advice to get a sleepy baby to burp after feeding?? Thanks mamas!

SAME!!! I can barely get my bb to burp during the day and it’s 10x harder at night 🫩

Try to rub their back instead of patting. Keep baby upright a little longer. Or when they start fussing in their sleep try burping them again. Other than those they will start to burp without help around 4-6 months.

My daughter was the same way when she was a newborn! She’d fall asleep burping. Haha I would nurse her on one side and then change her diaper before offering the other side. This would also allow me to burp her. You can also try rubbing their back firmly from butt up to their neck to make it as straight as you can to help the air come up naturally. Also wiggling their little butt while supporting their neck can help get gas moving. It’s tricky but it doesn’t last too long!

I would give gas drops before feeding to help break up some of that gas

Showering with my baby? Is it unsafe/ wrong?

Is it weird to take a shower with my baby boy? Is it a bad thing? I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I can never shower I’m 11 weeks pp and my husband started a new job. He is gone all day to work and I can’t just leave my baby alone so I can shower. I can’t hear the monitor over the running water and even if he is sleeping if I leave the room he wakes up and starts crying and doesn’t stop unless I pick him up and if I put him down again he cries again and I’m against letting my baby just cry it out. So I’ve been neglecting my own self care and hygiene and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. So I guess what I’m really wondering is it wrong, and is it unsafe?

Am I over reacting?

MIL came over on sunday to help with childcare, I'm heavily pregnant so she said why don't you go for a nap while I'm here.
I had a 2 hr nap upstairs and during that time she fell asleep on the sofa for 1.5 hrs. I know because we have security cameras round the house which i looked at later on after she'd gone.
My daughter slept for 30 mins on her, on the arm of the sofa and then the rest of the time she was left with the TV on.
I'm really annoyed because we have a wooden floor, a coffee table that she tries to climb on, she had hair ties which she often pulls out and tries to chew therefore a choking risk.
She's 20 months old.
Am I over reacting?
The worst thing is when I came downstairs after my nap, she 'she's not had much sleep only about 10 minutes'. But idk how she'd know that because my daughter woke up ages before she did.

Poo Help Needed 😱

My baby is approaching 6 months and is exclusively breastfed. A midwife warned us to expect that by this point, he would be pooing once a week and would make a big song and dance about it.

My baby poos once or twice a day, sometimes three times, without fail. Probably one in three is very vinegary, and they are in general smelly - I can tell he's pooed on smell alone.

They are also fairly explosive. He's in a larger size nappy than his weight to try and contain the poo as we have frequent blowouts! He also generally only poos in his car seat unless it's first thing in the morning!

Other than pooping, he seems completely healthy. He has maintained appropriate weight gain at his last check (which admittedly was at 3 months), but he's chubby and round. He also has plenty of wet nappies. I'd love to hear from people as to whether this is normal or whether I should be worried that this is an allergy or something!!!

How many poos does your EBF baby do a day / week? Please let me know!!!
