At what age do you usually stop burping babies?

Answer 1

Whenever it doesn't "come up" as easy

Answer 2

My son is 6 months and occassionally I still burp him (usually only with the feeding before bed), As long as your son isn't having any gas build up that is causing discomfort/pain/or spit up, then him not burping isn't a problem. For the most part I stopped burping my son around 4 months. I would still give him a couple pats on the back to help, but if he didn't burp in the matter of a minute or two, I left it alone, and he usually gets them up himself as well. 30-32 ounces a day is actually a lot for a 6 week old. The normal range is closer to his lower amounts. But again, that is just an average and every child is different. When he's not hungry he will refuse the bottle, when he's hungry he will drink. I always let my son tell me how and when he wanted to eat. I fed him til he was full, satisfied and didn't want anymore. Sounds like your son is right on target with his feedings. I personally give my son a bath every night. Ocassionally if we are out or if he's extremyl tired and already falling asleep we will skip a night here and there, but I put my baby on a schedule at about 6 weeks old, and by the time he was 9 weeks he had a set schedule and was sleeping 12 hours at night. I found what worked for me and continued it. But what works for me, may not work for you. There is no problem with bathing your 6 week old 3 times a week, and just give a wipe down on the other nights. Babies aren't really getting dirty, so as long as you are wiping down the areas that do get yukky every night, it's perfectly fine (neck, bottom, hands, face). I found a warm bath soothed and relaxed my son before bed, which is why I give him one everynight. He gets a bath, a bottle and then off to bed he goes. Hope this helped. Happy Holidays

When they are mobile it usually isn't a problem anymore, but as you can tell, even as an adult, sometimes we can all get a trapped burp now and then. So,. even once he's a toddler, if he seems to have stomach discomfort, he may need some help getting a burp out.
