Techniques for getting my baby to burp after feeding

My baby almost never burps after feeding and it makes him really gassy. What burping positions or tricks have actually worked for your little ones? Would love to hear any advice!

Holding my girl upright and wiggling her bum in circles to get her belly moving helps mine :)

I have the same issue with my daughter. I normally try rubbing her belly and then burping her, putting her on my shoulder or across my lap on her stomach as the light pressure of her being on her stomach can help bring gas up. I have also been recommended infocol to help her burp after feeds.
I dont know if this helps.

I remember stroking her back in upwards motions seemed to help instead of patting.

Nappies in this heat 😷

Ladies what are we doing with dirty nappies in this heat? I had a separate outdoor bin for them but it f****** stunk! So just throwing them direct into the wheelie bin now but ours only gets collected once every 2 weeks so worried about flies and yes maggots 🤮. What’s everyone else doing?

Crying

Does anyone else cry? 😂 ive cried twice now, baby is 5 week old, so overall that isn't too bad!! But im tired.. she's very much at the stage now where she wakes instantly when i put her down. But I feel guilty for crying because I love my little girl so much and I'm crying because of the sleep deprivation that she's causing.. i always feel better after a cry

Nappies

*UPDATE*
I GOT NAPPIESSSS 🥳🥳🥳
So i am really embarrassed with this, but i have run out of nappies and I have now had to use a teatowel to cover my boy up. Unfortunately, his dad won't be back until 8ish but I do not see a way to take him out to the shops to get one, my question really is, What the fuck do i do? Its not like the shop is close by either.

Talker or mover

Has anyone found their baby was either a talker or a mover? My baby is pulling to stand but really not babbling much at 10 months. He’s has in the past but the last couple of weeks he has been so quiet. Wondering if anyone else’s LO stopped being social whilst learning a new motor skill?

Adult children and minor children together

Hello. Does anyone have experience with adult children moving back home when you also have minor children in the house?
And with an adult child needing to share a bedroom with the minor child(ren)?

I know I'm being sensitive ...

... But it drives me mad when I'm asked what I do when my baby naps during the day. Especially by my mum who asked if I'm "working" or "working out" or something. My baby is now napping no more than 20min so I do small things around the house and that's it. I don't want to feel judged for it. Sometimes I just nap if I can.
Plus he is extremely fussy at the moment so the carrier is not an option (also I am exhausted)
