BURPING YOUR BABY  The practice of helping your baby release his stomach air is called burping. When your baby drinks milk, he may swallow some air bubbles along with milk. Air bubbles in baby's stomach can cause gas pain and bloating, so burping your baby during and after a feeding is the best way to keep him comfortable. Burping is more common in bottle fed babies as compared to breast fed babies. If you are breastfeeding, it is best to burp baby after he's finished feed. If you are bottle-feeding, you should try to burp baby after he's taken in 3-5 ounces. There are different positions for burping that are comfortable for you and your baby. Many parents prefer to use one of these three methods : SIT UPRIGHT AND HOLD YOUR BABY AGAINST YOUR CHEST: Your baby's chin should rest on your shoulder as you support his or her head and back with one hand. With the other hand, gently pat your baby's back. Sitting in a rocking chair and gently rocking with your baby while you do this may also help. HOLD YOUR BABY SITTING UP, IN YOUR LAP OR ACROSS YOUR KNEE: Support your baby's chest and head with one hand by cradling your baby's chin in the palm of your hand and resting the heel of your hand on your baby's chest (but be careful to grip your baby's chin - not throat). Use the other hand to pat your baby's back gently LAY YOUR BABY ON YOUR LAP ON HIS OR HER BELLY: Support your baby's head and make sure it's higher than his or her chest. Gently pat your baby's back.
