When a baby burps, gas is released and he feels more comfortable. Most young babies who like to drink at night fall asleep while drinking. However, they do need to be farmed. So it is important to find a position in which your baby can be buried, but from which he will not wake up. If you create the right conditions and find a method of burping according to eating and sleeping patterns, you should have no problem burping your baby.

To step

Part 1 of 3: Choosing the right farmer method

1. Hold and burp your baby. This technique is good for babies who sleep on their stomach or babies who like to cuddle in their sleep.
   • Slowly move your baby towards you so that he does not wake up.
   • Rest your baby's head or chin on your shoulder and hold their buttocks with one hand so they don't slip.
   • Put your other hand on the back and then tap gently to help the burping.
   • If your baby already has head and neck control, you can try holding your baby a small distance from your shoulder for burping. Place your baby's tummy close to your shoulder and gently press your shoulder into the abdomen. Make sure your baby is breathing comfortably, hold his buttocks with one hand and place the other hand on his back. Continue to push your shoulder gently into the stomach until it burps.
2. Put your baby down for burping. This method is good if you are already lying next to your baby and feeding him. All you have to do is pull your baby towards you and rest his head and stomach against your lap.
   • Place your baby on your lap, perpendicular to your body.
   • Place your baby's tummy on your leg and gently apply pressure to the tummy with your leg. Make sure your baby's body is evenly across your legs so the blood doesn't run to their head.
   • Tilt your baby's head to one side so that he can breathe properly while lying on his stomach.
   • Use your hand to support the head by placing your thumb and index finger on the jaw or chin, just below the ear. Don't put your hand against the neck or near the throat, you don't want to choke your baby or restrict breathing.
   • Wait for your baby to burp.
3. Let your baby lean against your body. This technique works best for babies who sleep on their tummy and deep sleepers, as it can be difficult to get your baby in the right position without waking him up.
   • First, lean back yourself in a comfortable chair or sofa, at an angle of 130 degrees. You can also put some pillows on your bed to support yourself, instead of sitting on a sofa or chair.
   • Slowly let your baby lean against your body. Facing you. The head should be on your chest and the stomach should be against your stomach.
   • Support the buttocks with one hand and place the other hand on the back to tap gently.
   • Continue to gently tap the back until the baby burps.

Part 2 of 3: Creating the ideal environment for farming

1. Feed your baby in a quiet area without distractions to minimize burping. Most babies swallow more air if they are distracted by loud noises or voices while feeding, causing them to develop more gas and require more frequent feeding.
2. Don't be alarmed if your baby is throwing up a bit while burping. This is a normal part of burping and is because the air in the abdomen is usually trapped in the milk that has just been drunk. Then when the air comes out, some milk comes with it. Sometimes milk also comes out of the baby's nose. This is also normal for many babies. So you don't have to worry about it.
   • Vomiting can also be caused by reflux. Reflux occurs when the milk and gastric juices rise from the abdomen, causing the baby to vomit. If your baby is spitting out large amounts of milk, it is better to use the upright position for burping, by holding or leaning your baby, to prevent spit from running back into the mouth.
   • Your baby should have outgrown vomiting by 12-24 months old.
3. Place a clean cloth over your shoulder or chest while burping your baby. This will help prevent baby spit from getting on your clothes. You can use a clean cloth to wipe your baby's mouth and nose while burping.
4. Don't force your baby to burp if they seem comfortable after feeding. It is not a problem if your baby does not burp after every feed, as long as they are comfortable and it seems that there is no air in the stomach. Your baby may burp (and maybe more) during the next feed, which is no problem.
   • Always gently tap your baby's back while burping. Hard taps do not make burping faster or easier.

Part 3 of 3: Understand your baby's farming habits

1. Notice if your baby fidgets or fidgets during feeding. Most babies cannot tell you to burp, it is important to monitor your baby's body language to recognize when to burp. Most babies who have to burp during feeding become difficult and look restless.
   • Farming is essential for babies, as they need to release the gases in their bodies that are created by drinking milk. So it is very important to encourage them to burp when they fall asleep while feeding.
   • Most babies burp on their own when they are about 2 months old. They typically outgrow burping when they are 4 to 6 months old. After that, you don't have to let them burp anymore.
2. Keep track of your baby's burps. Pay attention to how often he burps after each feed. If your baby doesn't burp a lot during the day, you may not need to burp him at night at all.
   • Most babies who feed at night do not need to be fed because they are much calmer at night and thus take in much less air.
3. Keep in mind that some babies burp more often than others. This may be due to the way of nutrition. Bottled babies tend to swallow more air and thus develop more gas than breastfed babies.
   • In general, breastfed babies should burp when changing breasts and again after feeds. Bottled babies should continue burping after every 120-180 ml of milk they drink.
   • If your baby is bottle-fed, look for special feeding bottles that reduce air intake, which also greatly reduces the amount of air in your baby's tummy.

Tips

• Try talking to your baby to help burp him. Talking or singing to your baby softly and encouragingly will help him relax and can help burp.
