Re: whats the best way to burp the baby
Take about 5 minutes to burp a newborn. Sit her up, resting her chin in your hand,. Gently lean her forward and rub her back.

Re: whats the best way to burp the baby
Check the videos on you tube. Usually formula fed babies tend to burp a little more that b'fed babies. You need to burp both in any case.
Re: whats the best way to burp the baby
That's the way and the way most nurses do in hospitals as well.
Re: whats the best way to burp the baby
Your MIL is right.. sometimes babies dont... but you should gentle rub her back for atleast 5 mins so that food can pass down the way. And the best way put her on your shoulder, so that her chin is above your shoulder... and pat her at the back.

^not according to a lot of doctors and nurses. this method presses the belly and causes more spitting up.
Re: whats the best way to burp the baby
My daughter never burped.... so I just gave up after a month. She was breastfed exclusively.

congrates on ur little one
salaam...... im mother of three litle angles my new baby is two months old ,,, i fed her both bf and formula ...and ihave to burp her both ways ...in begining she wouldnt burp and fall sleep between feeding so i have to put her down but then start crying caz milk was bothering her ....may be be it was not in all the way ...so she start spiting milk some time digest and some tiime not ....but mashllah she is doing good ,,,,,gaining weight.....but bottom line is do try to burp ...caz its the air when the babies drink milk goes into their stomache that comes out ....so u may be feel after burp she want more milk .....mine does. so it probably would take 10 min or more little more ..but be patience,, when u ll learn to know, how to burp her it will be easy thing ...and she ll be quicker too as she 's growing...keep up .the hard wok ..
Re: whats the best way to burp the baby
hey guys i was wonderin how r we supposed to burp the baby if they sleep while BF or BB... as it is my baby is extremely colic and wakes up atleast after 15-30 mins of sleepin becus of gas pain. and if i dun put her down after BF or BB and continue holdin her uprite she never burps.. she HAS to b awake to burp
also nadz i guess it depends a lil on whether ure BF or BB. if ure BB i think its absolutely must to let her burp.. i dunno if i m rite.. mine is BF and BB both
