Burping

Absolutely in love with my newborn, however, burping them is the bane of my existence. Anyone got any tips to make them burp quicker, I can be sat tapping her back (with breaks) for 45 mins and nothing. Then as soon as I just hand her to my husband she burps 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've found that the more I alternate with him sitting on my lap and then on my shoulder (swapping every 2 mins or so) the quicker my baby burps. It sounds like your baby might be burping when you hand her over to your partner because of the little movement you've allowed her to do when going from yourself to your partner x

I’m literally having this exact same issue! We had an awful day yesterday with her screaming all day and we think it was trapped wind but same as you I spend literally ages sat there winding her trying all different positions but nothing! Yet somehow the minute my boyfriend taps her back she does the biggest burps and he manages to wind her within minutes 🫠

Also same! I have no idea what my partner does to induce the burps but our boy is so quick to burp with him. I’m blaming a male thing 😂

I sit my baby on my lap and hold his chin with one hand (hand in a c shape) so he’s upright then alternate rubbing his back with pats from bottom to top. Try to straighten the back as much as possible and lean baby a little forward. I saw this on Instagram and it’s my go to method! The shoulder method never worked for me x
