Burping sleeping baby

[onthefly]

Recently, DS seems to have a lot more gas than usual. He feeds to sleep at night, but then wakes up 1-2 hours later screaming cause he needs to burb. I try to burb him right after his feed, but he's conked out already and nothing happens. Anyone have advice? Would be nice to go back to solid stretches of sleep...
TIA

ive heard that gripe water is great for wind bought from pharmacy or woolies and coles give it a go

I've always held mine up over my shoulder & rubbed their back firmly from the bottom up when they were asleep.

I still try to burp Brock if he's asleep. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Brauers colic relief is great if bubs wakes up later on. I find that he burps a few minutes after taking it even if I'm not trying to burp him at the time.

my new born always looks like he has wind and in hospital i asked is there some other technique than what i already know. Patting rubbing and all that she said no but all that is really just for your self not for bubs as he will burp when ready. I was abit let down but i have heard when all else fails try gripe water google it

I too just held mine upright over my shoulder while they slept. On most occasions, they'd do a sleepy burble burp
