burping

[laracomps]

silly question

how long are you supposed to burp for after a feed? phoebe always seems to be sick when i put her in her crib no matter how long i burp her for. poor mite just projectile vomited milk, think she must have had too much don't want to put her down now!

usually for about 5 minutes but I vary his position if he doesn't burp, ie over my sholder then sat on lap, over knee etc. I also keep him sat at a 45 degree angle for about 20 minutes after feeding as he too is sick a fair bit.

you will learn (i did anyway ) how much your lil one will burp and when ect so will know if she still needs more before putting her down , but sometime they'll still be a lil sick

watch how many time its projectile tho as that may be a sign of reflux

Kyran still burps in the middle of a bottle and then straight away at the end. but i can guarentee, right the way through to the next feed, if i pick him up and rub his back he will burp again. Sometimes that will be it but sometimes we carry on like that until his next feed hes very windy! and from both ends!!

He use to projectile vomit to when he was very young. hes still sicky now occassionally.

I find that burping him 15mins after a bottle seems to stop him being as sick. Now he usually throws up when he burps! i think he just likes making a mess!

Also when he was the same age as your little one i use to burp him after every oz and that use to help.
