Do you burp DC after night feedings?

Do you always burp your DC after nighttime feedings?

I am breastfeeding, and she falls asleep after feeding at night, and I just hate to wake her to burp her because she becomes very alert, then I can't get her to sleep again without feeding her. So I usually just carefully place her in her crib asleep and pray she stays asleep.

But I think DD has serious gas issues. She is a grunter, and squaks and tosses and turns a lot at night, because of gas I think. So, I guess I should be burping her huh? I'm just depressed about this because I don't know how I'll get her to sleep after that. Sad

i always at least try to burp her. If she's asleep she usually won't burp. Sometimes i get lucky.?

I try to but not as hard as I do during the day.

like rachel I don't do it aggressively. I will put her over my shoulder and gently pat her back. If she burps great, if not then I don't push it

I always burp DS even at night. He's too gassy not to.

I rub DDs back instead of patting - she rarely wakes up but I occasionally get a huge burp!

I try to. Usually she eats so fast at that feeding that she gets a big burp up right away. I only try for a minute or two. She usually goes right back to sleep even if the burping wakes her up.

I do sometimes, but, honestly, sometimes I fall asleep while she's nursing, too!

I try and do a little burp - but occasionally i'll skip it if she is really out.

I usually don't because I'm so tired too.

But he has a lot of gas too. Maybe I'll try it over my shoulder with small rubs.
