Burping a baby involves gentle techniques to help release trapped air in their stomach.
Here's how to effectively burp your baby:
-
Gentle Patting: Repeatedly and gently pat your baby's back to help dislodge air bubbles. Always use a cupped hand, which is softer than a flat palm.
-
Prevent Spit-Up: Place a towel or bib under your baby’s chin or on your shoulder. This will help with messy cleanups in case of spit-up or "wet burps."
