‘’A burp is just a hug from the inside.’’

What is baby burping and why does it happen?

Your baby burping is a significant step of the feeding process. Every time your baby swallows, air gets

trapped in their tummy and this can cause discomfort. Some babies find it very easy to burp but others

might need you to help them do it.

There is no right time to burp your baby. Some babies have clues that let their mother know they are having a difficult time feeding, this is when you should know that they need a burping break. Otherwise carry on with your routine. Remember to always help your baby burp after a feeding. This will prevent any air from building up in the baby’s stomach.

How to help your baby burp?
