Comments on: How to Burp a Baby

on 9/27/2008 Or you could try sitting baby on your lap, leaning his back and head against your stomach/chest for support, lift both arms gently above his head then lower them back down, and repeat this, lift his arms, lower his arms untill he burps. I found this helpful as my baby was very hard to burp.

on 8/8/2006 While you're sitting, place the baby on your lap facing you. Place your hands under his arms, and support his head with your thumbs and fingers. Sit your infant upright and slowly rock them toward you and away from you. Try to keep them from "hunching over", keeping their back erect. I like to sit on the couch, with my feet on the coffee table, creating a reclining feeding chair with my legs. This position seems to reduce gas, and makes it easy to grab and "rock-burp" my baby.

on 8/8/2006 Steps:
1. place the baby on your lap on his or her stomach
2. rub his or her back
3. pat him or her on the back with one hand
4. after patting with one hand switch to both hands
. be sure to rub in between patting

on 8/8/2006 steps:
1. place the baby on your lap (if baby is not able to sit up on his or her own)
. if baby can sit up on his or her own place him\\or her on the coutch beside you and make sure you can reach his or her whole back
2. rub the baby on the back about 3 times
3. with the heal of your hand pat the baby on the back until he or she burps

on 11/22/2005 My baby is very hard to burp. I often found myself having to walk around with him while trying to burp him. I finally realized that when I'm carrying him, he bounces a little bit and that helps him to burp. Now that I know, I make sure to just bounce him a little bit whenever I try to burp him and it has really helped a lot.

Note: Please remember about shaken baby syndrome. I'm just talking about a little bounce or jiggle.
