Very windy BF* baby

It could take DD an hour to burp once she started on oral feeds. She was terrible. She did get better after a few months. She's now 19mos and thinks burping is hilarious. Silly munchkin.

It is cheating, but if you are given a syringe you can actually get the air out of her belly by drawing it up the NGT.

OK phew maybe it is just a premmie thing.

I might ask them to draw gas up her ng tube half way through a suck feed. One nurse has done it but I'm not sure if they are all keen.

Yeah, I got told off for doing it once.

Maybe laying her against your chest and sitting as upright as possible? That's the only way DS will burp. The other way he will burp is by holding him against my chest and walking around or rocking side to side. Which would be hard in the SCN, but might be something to try. Is DD2 hooked up to any monitors or anything that would stop you from at least standing up with her?
