Ah yes the bath works too! C always burps when he's having his bedtime bath. I'm less impressed when he farts on my hand though, even if it is a bit funny haha. I have to hold his bum cos he wiggles so darn much!]]> Fri, 23 Jul 2010 16:49:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1107594&title=burping-your-techniques#1107594 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1107542&title=burping-your-techniques#1107542 Author: High9

We used Infacol as DS suffered alot from wind - it brings all the little bubbles into one big one apparantely.

We also used youtube to look at different techniques]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 20:24:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106791&title=burping-your-techniques#1106791 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106768&title=burping-your-techniques#1106768 Author: Lightning McQueen

T was really hard to burp and a friend suggested giving him probiotics. This really worked for us - made him much easier to burp and he started to do one big burp, rather than lots of little ones.

Thanks for the replys, im lucky in the fact that DD doesnt spill or puke or drool! So I can pretty much do anything and she will keep her food in. I will give the baby whisper's technique a go, but I have no problems with the first burp its just all the little ones after. I might give infacol a go to.

The one I found worked really well for us was having his back to my tummy and soles of feet together with knees up like a buddha and then gently rocking forward and bending over.

We also found infacol helped quite a lot as supposedly it collects all the little bubbles into one big one so easier to burp up.]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 18:28:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106663&title=burping-your-techniques#1106663 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106552&title=burping-your-techniques#1106552 Author: MamaT

The only thing I can add is to rub his back in big clockwise circles, I can't remember where I found that out, but it works much better than anti-clockwise.]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 16:32:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106552&title=burping-your-techniques#1106552 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106483&title=burping-your-techniques#1106483 Author: Jelly

I find if I hold him close with his head on my shoulder and slowly rock side to side while rubbing his back in big slow circles works 99% of the time to get a whopper burp out. The tricky part is finding the right amount of pressure to apply to the back to move the gas.

Works best on a sleepy baby, but the rocking should relax her enough for a really nice burp if she's wide awake and wiggly.

Some other things I do is changing positions, so sit him down, stand him up, lay him down then pick him up...
I also sit him so he's straddling my knee, lean him right forward and rub/pat his back. Always tuck your foot back in case of vomit by the way.
Then there's always hand him to daddy. Daddy used to be better at getting his wind up, so I'd just pass him over after a few minutes.]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:58:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106483&title=burping-your-techniques#1106483 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106479&title=burping-your-techniques#1106479 Author: mammaE

Have you tried Gripewater? That helped DD most of the time when nothing else worked.

We do over the should patting and rubbing her back (mw said key to this is placing a firm hand on their behind/thighs to keep their legs straight and not curling up to their tummy if that makes sense)

Sitting on my knee and patting/rubbing her back whilst supporting her head.

Lifting Lily up from her underarms.

In the early days she was quite a spilly baby but barely spills now, although sometimes does so what mw told me was to gently roll her onto her back after a feed and massage her tummy in circles etc to 'collect the wind' and then burp.

I also do Katz #5.

Have you tried anything for wind like medication?

It could be a phase, Lily went through a difficult feeding phase.

PS my midwife suggested he wouldn't get so burpy if his head was elevated while feeding. Not sure whether this would work while feeding lying down, but just a thought]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:26:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106430&title=burping-your-techniques#1106430 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106425&title=burping-your-techniques#1106425 Author: KatzWtgn

I use a whole combination of positions I have learnt from a lot of people:

1. the classic on the shoulder with patting the back;
2. the rugby hold (baby's head in the crook of your elbow, your arm down her middle with your hand holding where her nappy is)
3. lifting my DS up towards the sky (hands under his armpits)
4. having him lying across my knees
5. holding him on my shoulder and holding his head and rocking my whole body back and forth with him (so that his tummy lurches against my shoulder with each rock (not sure if I'm explaining this very well)

Usually if he has really bad wind, I just continually change from one position to another. Sooner or later one works!]]> Thu, 22 Jul 2010 15:24:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106425&title=burping-your-techniques#1106425 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34861&PID=1106422&title=burping-your-techniques#1106422 Author: MrsEmma

I use the Baby Whisperer technique and it works pretty much every time, here's the link to the technique Burping Technique Otherwise I give DS a little bit of water and that works every time.

So my DD has decided to become impossible to fully burp. We have to feed lying down (Looooong story) and I can normally get half of them up then the other half just wants to stay put. Its mucking up our feeding with her just having 'snacks' all day cause she cant have a whole feed.

So please what do you do to get burps up? I need some new ideas and positions to try, I just want my easy to feed baby back! Thanks

Edit: She is great at night, sleeps 6hours, has a great feed then straight back to bed, its just the day thats hard work
