Keep these things in mind while making a baby burp:
1. Burp when leaning
Place the baby’s chin on your shoulder while supporting it with one hand. Pat the baby’s back with another hand. Keep the patting light like gentle taps. If the child is uncomfortable, then change the position.
2. Burp while sitting
Make the baby sit with its back in front of you. Bend the baby’s body forward a little while supporting it from the back. Make sure your hand is not near the baby’s throat. Gently rub and pat it on the back.
3. Burp while lying
Sit on a chair and place the baby on your lap. The baby should be in a semi-inclined position with the face leaning forward. Use one hand to support the baby and start patting gently with the other hand. If patting makes the baby uncomfortable, then try rubbing its back.
