How do I burp my baby?
As your crash course into parenting continues and the first feeding are going well you are probable starting to ask yourself, how do I burp my baby?
Not to worry for a few simple steps will get you moving in the right direction.
Step 1 Use a clean soft towel, a clean cloth diaper or other soft blanket and place it where your baby’s head will rest, usually over your shoulder
Step 2 Hold your baby over one shoulder with their stomach against your chest and head resting on your shoulder.
Step 3 Use one of the following methods:
- Place your child on your shoulder with their head resting on the soft cloth. Pat your child on the back and rub their back it in a circular motion until you hear them burp.
- Place one hand across your child’s chest, supporting their chin with your thumb and index finger. Lean your child across that support hand and gently pat or rub his back with your free hand.
- Position yourself so that you can comfortably place your child across your legs with your child’s head on one thigh and his stomach on the other. Using an upward and circular motion, gently pat your child’s back until they burp.
That’s pretty much all there is too it.
