Burping????

ashmcdeavitt

Hello mammas,

 

I am a new ftm (as of nov. 19th ) and I am having a really hard time with burping. After feeding her I try to burp her and nothing ever happens, I have tried all the different positions and sit there for about 5-10 minutes trying to burp before giving up. I really hate seeing her in pain and really gassy afterwards and would love any advice if anyone has some! I am just now getting my milk in this evening and am hoping that it will be easier, not sure if that makes a difference or not.

For the first couple weeks my little guy wouldn't burp after feeding him. I just recently have been getting something out of him. If he has a bottle DH is able to burp him almost right away.

He gets his gas out the other end most of the time!!

Thank you! I just hate to see her in pain, but am glad to know that it gets easier!

Like PP said, get LO really high on your shoulder. Like, belly button on the shoulder. Burp with one hand and hold on to LO with the other. I had a really hard time at first too, still do sometimes. Sometimes it helps to lean LO back and forward in a sitting position to knock the gas bubble loose. GL.
