Burping helps release air swallowed during feeding, reducing discomfort. Here are some popular burping positions:
- Over the shoulder with back pats: Hold your baby upright on your shoulder while gently patting their back.
- Sitting on your lap: Support the baby’s chest and chin while patting their back.
- Lying tummy-down across your lap: Gently rub or pat your baby’s back.
Burp your baby during natural pauses in feeding and again at the end. If your baby spits up or seems fussy, burping can help.
