Answer 1

i think this question refers to a child DO NOT give your baby soda or caffeine you can place a "burp rag" over your shoulder and place the baby's head just above your should and pat ts back not too hard or you can lay your child across you lap on its belly and pat its back as well as sit you child on you knee and hold its chin lean it over not too far just at a slant and pat its back i hope this has helped good luck

Answer 2

Patience....the idea is to put baby in position against your body where light pressure is on the babies abdomen while patting the middle high area of the babies back...lean baby partly over shoulder where babies tummy touches you and has light pressure and give medium pats and this can take 3-5 minutes. If that doesn't work well some babies respond better if you lay their tummy across your legs making sure tummy has light pressure from laying against leg and pat away. Singing or humming a happy tune can help the time go by...

If you still have problems ask your pediatrician, some doctors will provide infants antacids...Babies full of gas do not make happy babies, so be sure to keep up on this for you and your babies well-being.

If you are breast feeding and you have gas you will pass it on to your baby, so be sure to talk to the doctor about this as well. Remember, whatever you take your baby also takes so it is best to ask your doctor before taking any meds even over-the-counter meds.

Answer 3

Do more rubbing as you gently pat the baby's back and tummy. Hold the baby up and lay the baby over in your arms - up and down - the air will rise up quicker that way. If the child has too much gas you may want the change the formula or change the nipple on the bottle. If the child is breast fed be sure the Mom is not eating things to give the baby gas: broccoli, cabbage. Read a list of things Mom's should avoid when nursing.

Answer 4

Have AT LEAST one burp cloth ready for spit-up. Sit the baby upright in your lap with your hand of the baby's chest, allow the baby's weight to rest on that hand. With the other hand gently pat/tap the baby's back. This should elicit a burp. Other positions are baby-over-the shoulder and baby-across-the-lap (face down).

Don't try too hard for a burp. There are times babies don't need to burp, or the burp was quiet and you missed it. Also breastfed babies often don't have to burp.


Good luck.

Depends on baby's age. If a newborn or young one try burping half way through the feeding. Not all babies will burp at this point though. When done feeding sit baby up and support the back. or try putting baby over your shoulder.

try sitting her up on your lap along with your palms round her chin and your palm on her chest. Lay her down even so up some situations then pat her lower back. i could pat from the backside upward and rub in that course to boot. in case you could no longer get her to burp yet then gets gas discomfort try this-you need to objective mendacity her down and pumping her legs as much as her tummy. additionally something like a heat rice bag on the tummy facilitates with gas discomfort. to no longer point out gas drops help too! i think of a few little ones do exactly no longer burp every time nevertheless.

Answer 8

fill a bottle up just with water about 4-6 ounces depends on the baby age, and put a little piece of peppermint in it. Give a ounce then try to burp,if not try another ounce,and if no results maybe you should go to the doctor there may be a problem.( make sure just a little piece of peppermint)

Answer 9

I found rubbing my daughter's back in a circular motion to be easier for bringing up the burp. Sitting her on my lap, supporting her entire jaw with one hand, leaning her forward into that hand, and rubbing her back or lightly patting her also helped.

Answer 10

sit 'em on your lap and lean 'em slightly forward on your hand. rub the back in a circular motion and then pat a few times. alternate between the two till the burp comes. never fails.
