my baby is 3 months now had hard time to burp him it take him so long any helping ideas
Are you breastfeeding? Many breastfed babies don't need burping, their latch is pretty much airtight. For a bottlefed baby, I'd say no more burping when they can sit up on their own. However, keep in mind that you don't need to burp the baby as often as they get older - for a bottlefed newborn you might burp every ounce but a 3 month old could go a few ounces without burping.
basically wait until the baby is done eating. If the bottle isn't empty try burping then continue until gone.
If breast feeding. Again just wait until your done, after 25-30 mins.
You could also sit the baby up right, like in the car seat. Babies can burp on their own.
If your child is breast fed, you do not have to burp him at all. (According to Dr. Sears. He said this on "The Doctors.") Dr. Jim Sears said "burbing" began with the introduction of bottles. Babies who take a bottle also take extra air into their tummies. Parents need to "burp" the air out of their tummies to make them more comfortable. That's not to say that babies who don't take a bottle never burp, but it's not something they generally need help doing.
I would only burp him if he seems uncomfortable and needs to get a burp out
My DD was exclusively breastfed, and usually needed burped. I stopped burping her when she was able to sit up on her own. One thing I found that gets a burp out quicker than the normal back pat is to sit her up in your lap, and make a fist with one hand. Use the part of your hand where your fingers touch your palm (Try to make it as flat as possible) and gently thump her chest with it. OR make a fist, and with the side your pinky finger is one thump her in the back. (gently, of course.) If I couldn't get a burp out of her within 5 minutes or so, I would wait for about 15 and try again. If I still couldn't get one, I would just let it go unless she was uncomfortable.
