night time feedings

MIL and I had a disagreement about this today.  After a night feeding, like 2 or 3 am, do you hold LO up for a half hour just in case he/she spits up?

Aso, do you always stop LO to burp or follow his/her lead fo when a break is needed?

    I don't hold LO after I feed her.  I feed her and when she unlatches herself, I lay her down.  I haven't had any problems doing this.  But she does sleep on her side, not her back.  I also don't stop to burp her.  I follow her lead.  HTH

    At least 15 minutes.

    After about 4 weeks, we realized DD didn't need to burp until the end of her bottle. Before that, we'd go about 2 oz or so before stopping to burp her. Baby tummies are tiny!

    I burp every 2 ounces. DD sleeps on an incline so no need to hold her after eating.

    I usually burp half way through the bottle. DS seems to spit up less when i do that. He doesn't always burp thought. I usually hold DS at night for around 10 minutes from the time he is done eating. During the day i may hold him longer. DS usually spits up a little when i put him back in the crib?

    Nope. I burp her when she's done with her bottle, she often doesn't burp at night, but I'll try for up to 10 min. She usually falls asleep while I'm patting her back, so I just lay her down in the crib.

    This but I nurse and I will burp him after each side. He normally doesn't burp either at night, but I try for about 2 to 3 minutes.

    Nope. I don't hold her up.

     

    And, at night, I don't burp her. She tends to burp on her own, and if I burp her, she wakes up.

    I don't hold him up for half an hour, more like 15 minutes.  We have to because of his reflux, though.  I wouldn't do it if we didn't have this problem. 

    ETA:  We also stop to burp after every ounce or so.  Again, because of the reflux.

    No, I hold DS in my arms at a slight incline for about 10 minutes after he finishes his bottle.  He rarely spits up.  During this time, I burp him and rock him.

    I never stop feeding him to burp him.  I let him finish his bottle and then burp him.  He gets mad if I pause mid-bottle.
