Different burping positions, let’s talk about it👶🏻👩🏻‍🍼

Burping a baby after feeding is crucial to prevent discomfort from trapped air. Three common positions that I PERSONALLY LOVED AND USED include:

over-the-shoulder

sitting on the lap

laying on the lap.

The over-the-shoulder position involves holding the baby upright against the caregiver's chest, allowing gentle pats or rubs on the back to release air bubbles efficiently. This position utilizes gravity to aid in burping and is ideal for newborns and younger infants.

Sitting on the lap involves the baby facing outward while supported with one hand under the chin and another patting or rubbing the back. This position is suitable for slightly older infants who can hold their heads steady and may prefer a more upright stance.

Laying on the lap position is achieved by laying the baby across the caregiver's lap, with their head slightly elevated. This position is gentle and can be comforting for infants who have difficulty sitting upright. Each position aims to ease gas and discomfort effectively, contributing to a happier, more content baby after feeding.
