Baby burp: not so important as you think!
The sentence systematically falls a few minutes after giving the infant the bottle: has he burped properly? Simple question or big worry, in fact, doctors are generally very calm on the subject … Indeed, the baby may or may not do one, or even … two burps!
Burp: not all babies …
Especially bottle-fed babies are likely to need to burp after their meal. Simply because breastfed infants seem to swallow less air when they suckle from the breast. Burping should not be confused with regurgitation. The child may regurgitate when he has an “overflow” of milk. On the other hand, the burp is used to evacuate the air which it swallowed during the feeding and which has accumulated in the upper part of the stomach.
Burping: no question of shaking Baby to expel the air!
Shaking a toddler can be dangerous and have serious consequences. By swinging his head, the shaking can very quickly cause neurological damage. Especially since there is no shortage of gentle methods. The simplest: carry the baby upright against you and gently pat his back, from bottom to top, to accompany the rising air. Insist lightly between the shoulder blades. Another equally effective and even gentler way: massage her back with your hand lying flat, making sure to turn clockwise. And if the burp doesn’t come after a few minutes, it’s no big deal anyway. Wear it or put it in its deckchair for a while before putting it back to bed.
