Literally don’t know what to do anymore my lo is 8 weeks old and he just will not burp at night. I spend more time trying to burp him than feeding him and still end up laying him down without burping. I’ve tried every trick I can find online. I’ve tried infacol doesn’t make a difference. Does anyone else have any tricks that work please! I end up taking so long that by the time I lay him down or for him to burp it’s like 1-2 hours before the next feed! So then I’m not sleeping much either

I’m in the same boat my baby girl rarely burps and you can hear the wind in her. Out of say 6 feeds she’ll burp on 2 of them. I’m at my whits end I’ve tried absolutely everything. These 2026 babies are stubborn🤣

My little one doesn’t burp at all no matter what I try day and night!, currently just fed him and he’s led up right on patting his back as he will not bring anything up but will just keep trying, if he doesn’t do it within 15 minutes I normally just put him down as it will eventually come up naturally. sorry I’ve got no words of advice but I just wanted to let you know you’re not alone! X

If he’s not uncomfortable and is happy sleeping then he doesn’t need to burp. Breastfed babies especially don’t always need to burp after a feed as they don’t swallow as much air x

Same, I try to burp him overnight and he falls asleep on my hand lol

I had a tongue tie assessment done at the hospital and she told me they need to burp everytime, if they are showing no signs of discomfort and held upright and don’t burp it’s fine, hope that helps x
HOW are you pumping the recommended 8-12 times per day??
I'm barely managing to fit 5-6 pumps in a 24 hour period. Even then each pump is only around 10 minutes long and I only manage around 40ml 🙃
I feel so guilty, I have a daughter in the NICU that I want to provide milk for, but I'm struggling to feed the one I have at home.

Hellooo. I have a 2 month old who doesn’t seem to sleep during the day (unless he’s on me and wakes as soon as I put him down) but after googling it says he should be sleeping 5-6 hours a day.
Does anyone have any daytime napping hacks? Obviously I love the cuddles but sometimes it would be nice to get some housework done 🤣

I wanna know if anyone else is in the same boat as me😩 i live 2 hours away from my family and i am living with in laws. My husband helps me out and tries to make sure i get that time to myself but when it comes to wanting to go outside and have a social life i feel so guilty leaving her at my in laws house. My mil says she doesnt mind but sometimes you can tell she does mind. I also feel like im always being timed on how long im gone. I just wish i lived closer to my own mum as i have so many nephews and nieces alhamdulillah which would help keep my baby busy aswell as having her grandparents and aunties and uncles.
