Burping

smashasaurus · August 2011

I've been told you can stop burping between 4-9 months or when LO is sitting unassisted. She never burps for us anymore but she doesn't sit on her own (really at all, maybe a few seconds but it isn't consistent.)

Do you still burp your LO?

We never burped Abigail.

Same. He started sitting unassisted at 5 months but I think we stopped burping even before that.

Sort of. She usually will burp on her own but if I think she is acting like she needs to (i.e. drank less than normal) then I'll sit her on my lap and rub her back for a minute or two.

No, I haven't burped her since she started sitting on her own, she burps on her own now.

Exactly this. Around 4.5 months, DD started letting out big burps when she shifted in my lap after eating, so I started to just let her burp on her own. She rarely burps these days.

Sweet! My nights just became easier, burping for nothing for the past 3 weeks. Thanks 10xournationaldebt.

I always burp him because if I don't then he ends up with a belly ache plus he has reflux so I noticed if he doens't burp well he sptis up more so I think burping is good.
