I always still burped my son after he fell asleep because the build up of gas can cause them to vomit and he usually woke up if I didn't burp him anyway so it was just easier. After about 4 months I would stop. Hope that helps.

No way. I have 2 kids, and after say...6 weeks old, I would never dream of waking them up... for any reason!! While fustrating, the "gas" problem with babies DOES pass. The only time I would burp them while sleeping is if they were under 6 weeks, and falling asleep during their feed without finishing. Then I'd burp them in an attempt to wake them up a bit... but that's it!

I never did. I figured if he was sleeping, I wasn't going to wake him up. Usually what i would do is let him feed, burp him a few times during the feeding, then let him finish off the feeding until he fell asleep, then I'd just lay him down. He was never a very gassy baby though. If you have a baby who NEEDS that burp then I wouldn't advise what I did, but dude, when the baby is sleeping, dont' wake it up!!

each infant is different. My daughter (4 months) also does no longer burp once she has drifted off, yet she isn't a "spitter-higher," so it would not reason a topic. Bouncing your infant 3 circumstances on your knee is the finest technique I actually have stumbled on, commonly when I do this there is not any want to pat or rub... although the idea is to bop some circumstances to loosen any air bubbles and then prop your infant up on your lap so as that she is extremely doubled over, and both rub or pat till you get a huge juicy belch! in the journey that your infant would not awaken with dry spit-up on her face, threat is she is fantastic going and not using a burp for those feedings. some babies ought to burp some circumstances after each feeding or they get terrible gasoline pains and/or spit up oftentimes. no longer some thing to worry about too a lot in the journey that your infant isn't having those topics. If she seems ok, more desirable than likely she is. reliable success!

yes, if a baby falls asleep you should still burp them. if you don't that could cause the baby to have pains because of a build up of gas. so just advoid that and burp the baby after every feeding.

Yes, it is still necessary to burp your baby... why? because even though he is asleep.. the air from drinking is still sitting in his belly. Also, don't worry... most of the times when you burp your baby... the sensation of the pat on his/her back is comforting and he/she will remain asleep... but she/he WILL burp if she/he has air in her/his belly... also, if you breastfeed keep in mind that she may not have as much air compared to bottle feeding.

It's been a long time since I been a baby, but I would think so. Still need to get that burp out.

I always burped my kids after feeding whether or not they were sleeping. Gas is uncomfortable for babies.

No because the baby drinks more slowly, he swallows less air and doesn't need to burp

ABSOLUTELY! Just as you or I could burp or fart in our sleep, so can a baby. Since babies are supposed to sleep on their backs, if he/she burps in their sleep and spits up or vomits they could choke to death.
