How to burp newborn baby?

My baby is 4 days old and she has only burped like 2 times that I’ve heard is that normal? I feel like I don’t know how to burp her like I’m supposed to and I worry cause she just goes straight to sleep and I know they supposed to every time they eat

Are you bottle or breastfeeding ? If breastfeeding try burping between switching breast or after 15 min. Give it about 5min if no burp baby should be ok. Try to make sure your latch is proper so baby doesn’t get air. Theirs no air in breast so technically baby doesn’t need to burp is what my lactation consultant told me. If you notice baby uncomfortable after holding baby upright ten minutes then try for another burp again. If bottle feeding try pace feeding and everyone ounce try to burp. 5 min if it doesn’t come up let baby drink more and keep trying. Also remember don’t let baby over eat because they will feel uncomfortable. Remember their belly’s are tiny and usually they want to suck for comfort not necessarily because their hungry. Try a pacifier

Try to use a good pump so your milk supply does well. Like plug in kind that’s hospital grade. If using bottles stick to a schedule or even better learn to nurse lying down, that helped me survive

I put my baby in a sit up position to burp that’s the only way she would burp without reflux

Set her in your lap, one hand holding her head up under her chin. And pat her back while bouncing your legs just a little.

I was having the same issue but from my understanding it causes hiccups and sometimes spit ups. So I try to burp her everything. Sometimes I move her from shoulder to shoulder or I sit her up on my leg.

Yes I try too but most times she does fall asleep. So if I can't get a burp I let her lay on me for like 30 mins before putting her in her bassinet. Sometimes that helps the ln sometimes she'll wake up from spitting up or hiccups

So right now my baby is only 3 weeks & 4 days. Every time I finish feed him he gets sleepy & that makes it harder for me burp him. So me (a worried mom that wants my baby to burp b4 nap time) burps him until I hear a burp but it takes hours😭! Or sometimes he doesn’t even burp… could I be doing something wrong😟?

Once they fall asleep its very difficult for them to burp. If you cant get a burp after 10 mins of trying it's okay to lay your baby down. Long as if you kept them upright for at least 5 mins you're okay. My baby is the same way and I hold her on my chest and pat her back for 5 mins and if I don't get one by then I stop and just rub for another 5 mins.

Sometimes they just don't need to burp. I'd still try to burp every time but I wouldn't expect them to actually burp every time.

Not everytime they are going to burp but they will burp on their own. My baby does it all the time. Sometimes patting the butt helps

I was speaking with pediatric about the same. Her advice was to hold baby in arms vertically and walking 30 min after every feeding. It helps us!

Thank you, I swear that's what we were doing this morning maybe not 30 mins after feeding it was right after she was done, then while I'm burping her on my shoulder she somehow ends up getting hiccups! I'm telling you I could've cried, I can see she needs to burp but every trick I've heard just doesn't seem to want to work with her.... Or I'm doing it completely and utterly wrong! 🤔🙁 But thank you so much for your comment, it's def. Worth a try !!

My baby is 2 1/2 weeks old, only breast feeding him. It’s hard for me to burp him too, his dad holds him and he right away burps, when I’m alone I noticed if I move him around and then proceed to burp him it works. He does get hiccups too right away after he burps.
