on 7/22/2008 We at The Mummy's Club advise that your baby will probably drink a small amount, maybe 1 or 2 fluid ounces, and then be ready to burp/wind.

Remove the bottle, sit your baby on your knee and gently pat/rub the baby's back. within a few seconds the baby will burp and be ready to carry on feeding.

This is not usually necessary for breast fed baby's.
