Burping a baby

[bluemonkey71]

I always found with ours that sitting them on my knee,hand under there chin but keep there back dead straight worked for me! Or laid across my knees face down rubbing there back also did the trick!

+1 for the above advice

Thankfully no colic with mine either

Half a capful of Southern comfort,dump them in the car,airport and back.Never failed until the car actually stopped.

Who has the Southern Comfort?


I had a problem with my little girl when she was a baby and wouldn'd stop crying after I'd fed her - hadn't a clue what was wrong so called her Mum who'd left me all alone with the little 'un.

She told me to 'wind her'. I asked her about four times if I'd heard her correctly. She confirmed that I had to 'wind the baby'.

Obviously didn't punch her in the belly too hard as she was so tiny but it seemed to make her cry more.

Haven't seen either of them since then to be honest.

Got 4 week old twins, boy and a girl. Little girl is a dream with no fuss and so easy to wind. My boy is extremely demanding to say the least and is demanding food almost every 2 hours compared to his sister who is happily going between 3/4 hours. He is also on the hungrier baby food. I wouldn't describe him as a colic baby but his wind sticks as well and sometimes you are trying to wind him for well over an hour.

Infacol, gripe water and a lot of patience is all that i can suggest mate as i know exactly what your going through.

Wow, twins. Are these your first kids? How much of a headfuck was it when you realised you had two on the way instead of one?

the trick is to rub the back gently in circular motions. you can have little one with her head on your shoulder or sat on your knee holding her chin up for support. i always found with mine that its best to burp them after every ounce or two of milk. if you give it them all at once and burp them, they tend to get cranky or throw up everywhere

Not my first mate. Got 2 boys 15 and 13 from a previous. My wife's first though (and last).

I turned 40 this year though so when we found out it was twins i have to admit to shitting a brick or 2 lol.

Hard work but great fun.

The only way I could get our youngest to sleep sometimes was in her car seat, driving around... Not good at 2am.

Can any father's out there help me with this one

2am-4am this morning, baby refusing to have her bottle as she clearly needs to let out a burp, eventually she did but only after i gave up patting her on the back and put her back to her cot ... then she wanted feeding again !

how old's your baby?

could it be that she's still upset a little about your relegation?

she's not mine , but she's 4 weeks old

maybe the relegation has affected her ... but by time she's in nursery, big sam will be giving us free flowing champions league football in the Olympic Stadium

- the advise of keeping her back straight when patting her on back has helped, we also have got her some Gripe mixture today
