Parenting: "Do WE need to BURP the INFANT?"

Yes its a must. You can sit the baby on your leg facing away from you with your hand supporting its head and the other patting the babies back.

I think we need not take any extra efforts to get the burp as it is a natural thing and baby burps out when it is required by his body!

Yes they definitely have to be burped if not they let out an ear piercing cry that tells you they are hurting. I used to sit my kids on my lap with then leaned forward slightly with their body draped over my arm and my hands supporting their head. I would pat from their lower back upwards to work the burps up. I know when I was older I would get bad gas pains and I would have to go ask my mother if she could get the burp out for me. I was 6 when we moved into that house and I remember sitting on the couch in front of the window so I had to be 6 or older when I would have to ask her to do it.

It's something I never did, but I know that my mother said she was not really concerned, because a baby burps when his body is ready.

Yes, it is important to do so....I haven't had to burp a baby in over 4 years, but I remember putting him over my leg and supporting him and burping him with the other hand.

Yeah, and it was really funny!

I have a baby niece. She is 5 months old. I don't carry her too because she is too delicate to handle and quite heavy too. I just see my sister carrying her baby just like that in your photo to make her baby burp.

I have burped lots of babies over the years. Not hard at all.

When my children were born we use to lay them across my lap with a towel under them and rub their backs until they burp. My aunts use to do that to me when I was little to.

you should know that kabsat. you are a health care provider, right? burping an infant after drinking his milk is necessary so the infant won't regurgitate or have abdominal discomfort,

At least you will know how to do it when you have your own baby!

Yes, I did many times. Baby should need to burp so that they will find comfort with their tummy. The tendency is if they can't burp, they will end up vomiting.

Yes I have done that only to hear the fat burp noise from the baby nephews that I have taken care of.

No. Not yet. But i burped a lot of times

Never tried to burp an infant

A baby in the house means everyone around gets a turn to burp a baby lol)

Yes,it's an art.

It is important to burp them so that the air will not block the passage where they breathe after they drink milk.

I am a mother so I understand what you are talking about. Good job

I have the honor of burping my kids and there is no other way to do it but this way alone. Don't be scared, I was back then too but I am now considered expert on burping
