Breastfed baby not burping

She definitely has gas but can’t seem to bring it up. Any tips?

My breastfed baby doesn’t always burp no matter how much I try and get his wind up. The figure 8 in between his shoulder blades usually always does the trick or sitting them on knee supported and slowly moving them in a clockwise circle. Sometimes I will try all sorts of positions and nothing happens then when I stop he lets out a big burp. I think as long as they are not showing signs of discomfort & you have tried everything to get wind up they should be ok as breastfed babies breathe in less air

My health visitor said breastfed babies don't have as much wind but as my little boy seems to struggle with trapped wind occasionally she said to use some infacol. Might be worth checking with your midwife/health visitor if you can use it too x

Wait like 5-10 min and then try burping her. That's the only thing that works for her. Honestly most of the time it just ends up coming out the other end 🤣 she's so hard to burp. But she isn't fussy so I don't worry about it
