How to burp a baby while sleeping?
Babies tend to get gassy from time to time, and if they’re unable to release the gas from their stomach, it tends to build up. Gas builds up because food goes through the digestive system a lot quicker than it does in an adult or older child. In this post, I will present you a step by step guide about burping your baby while sleeping.
To burp a baby while asleep, all you need is a gentle pat on the back. If your baby is awake, try holding his chest so he doesn’t cry too much and try feeding him some breast milk or formula before he goes back to sleep for another round of sleep.
Step-by-step guide on burping a baby when sleeping
- Place the baby on your right side in their right hip-side position. – Hold their chest so they don’t cry and feed them. – When they settle down on your left side, gently pat their back while they are still on your lap.
