All babies need to burp, and for the first few months, they usually need help to do it!
Gas gets trapped in the stomach a few ways:
- when babies swallow air during feeding and/or crying
- when baby’s immature digestive system has trouble breaking down their formula
- in breastfed babies, when the mother consumes something baby is sensitive to, that gets passed through her breast milk
Watch our video to see effective burping techniques, positions and how often to do it.
