Do you girls ever not get a burp and does it always lead to gas pain for LO? I tried and tried last night and this AM to get a burp and LO would not give it up!
She is FF and I use the Dr Brown's bottles...but I almost always get at least 1 good burp....
She was fussy when she got up from her nap and continued to be fussy even after she ate....so I am sure she's got a little air in there....
Re: burping
When Mikey was your DD's age he'd always have pent up gas.
Try sitting her up and rotating her torso clockwise so she looks like she's tipsy. Works like a charm!

There were times that we'd work and work to get a burp out of LO, when he was that age. Sometimes, it just never came.
I think, for my LO, the bottles we used (Born-Free) did their job and my son is a very efficient drinker--so there was very little air ingested. We did learn though, that if he stopped mid-bottle, we had to wait or work for the burp. If we did not honor his ques, we paid for it. From a very early age, my LO has been very intuitive.
Good luck figuring out what your LO needs. Sometimes it is a guessing game!
We are now using Dr. Brown's bottles and since the change Logan doesn't burp nearly as easily. When he doesn't it does cause him pain a while after eating and normally we can get one out then, but it takes much more work.
I always feel really bad for him because I know it's painful!
The only suggestion I have is to keep on trying. That's the only thing that seems to work for us.
Ditto this. DS was a very hard burp and this trick worked just about all the time.
