Baby doesn't burp.

 My baby does not burp after feedings. I am breastfeeding, and I typically do 15-20 per breast. I try to burp in between and after each feeding. My boy isn't burping, but pooping instead. It is pretty much a given that when I burp him he will have a bowel movement. I am trying to gauge if he is passing gas and it just comes out, and if this is okay. I have a ped. appointment on Friday, but I am wondering if anyone else's baby poops instead of burps?!

    Yeah, my little girl really didn't burp until 4 or 5 weeks. She did poop a lot too. And fart.

    Just keep trying... and try making sure his belly is pressed up against you so you're pushing the gas from both sides.

    My son is the same way at 3 weeks. I breastfeed him and he has only burped maybe a handful of times but everytime he is eating he will poop. I asked a lactation specialist and she said that is common. Babies are able to have a better latch around your breast than a bottle which keeps out a lot of air. I think as they get older they will start to burp more.

    Breastfed babies don't burp as much as bottle fed babies do cause they don't take in as much air as they would with a bottle. Also when the baby breastfeed they typically poop most of the time. I noticed that whenever I breastfeed my baby vs bottle feed he typically burps more with the bottle then when I breast feed him and he actually farts alot more than burps anyway.
