Burping is used to expel some of the air that babies and infants tend to swallow while feeding.
The accumulated air could lead to abdominal bloating or distension or gaseous colic, causing discomfort and discomfort.
After each feeding, therefore, favour burping, but do not worry if it does not happen.
What is the position for burping?
After each feed, in the first few months of life, mum or dad should hold the baby in an upright position for about 15 minutes to encourage burping.
Some babies burp many times while others only occasionally; after this time, the baby can still be placed in the cot.
