Answer 1

The majority of parents stopped burping their babies when they were between 4 and 9 months old.

Although there is a wide range of ages at which babies stop burping, if your daughter is now 4 months old, and does fine without burping, then you likely can simply stop trying to burp her. It may be that she is just not swallowing much air as she eats anymore.

If you stop burping and she begins to have problems, such as having a lot of gas, spitting up often, or being fussy, then you may have to find a different way to burp her. For example, if you have been holding your baby upright against your chest or shoulder, you might try burping her while she sits upright on your lap, or while lying on your lap. Or you might even try a combination of these different positions during each burping session.

Answer 2

When they start to burp on their own without help. It's around the time they sit up on their own, too. I believe I stopped burping my two girls about age 7 months, because they did it on their own when they were done eating. However, if you child is particularly gassy, or doesn't have a strong muscular system, you may have to burp much longer, but not past a year.

Answer 3

My daughters were about 5-6 months when I stopped burping them. They could sit and roll and would get the burps out on their own since they became active.

Answer 4

At some point during weaning, they seem to start managing on their own! You can tell becase as soon as you sit them up after a bottle they will burp!

Answer 5

Had six children all where different.first three months then just sit them up after bottle they will burp themselves most time. its good practice to sit the up slightly after feeding fro about 1/2 or more helps with gas and better digestion.

Answer 6

Stop burping them when they can burp themselves. I never burped my oldest. Tip him up, and he burped himself. I missed the cuddle, though. It just seems like patting a baby on your shoulder is what you are supposed to do with them.

Answer 7

When they are drinking from a cup. You burp them after a bottle because they swallow air, so when they are finished with bottles you are finished with burping.

Answer 8

When they can burp themselves, take cue from your baby. I find it's about when they can hold the bottle securely on their own and I dont' just mean grasping at it, i mean hold it and pull it from his/her mouth and put it back and roll around and whatever else it is they do when they are feeding themselves. You'll notice your baby taking breaks in drinking to belch! hehe.

Answer 9

they should stop burping themselves. Like, when you try burping them they won't burp and it will be fine, they will eventually learn how to burp themselves...if you don't feel comfortable doing that then just wait until they learn themselves to burp.

Answer 10

When they about 9 months
