at night, generally my three-week old baby takes things easy: wakes up, goes to the breast for some dinner and falls asleep. However, if we just put him down after eating and falling asleep, he makes all kinds of "choky" noises which sounds as if he's not getting rid of swallowed air. If I burp him by putting him on my shoulder and patting/stroking him, he typically (but not always) belches and that gives him an easier time when he's put down. However, this burping wakes him up again, which can mean that he'll demand more food, comfort etc etc.
Is it possible to gently burp a baby efficiently without waking him up?
