When you burp your baby, he or she will “fart” more easily and be more comfortable. Infants who are still breastfed or bottle-fed at night may fall asleep during or after a feed but still need to be burped. Find a position that helps your baby burp without waking him up (hopefully!). You should also find ways to reduce your baby’s colic so that he doesn’t have to burp too often at night.
Steps
Carrying the baby on your shoulder

Place a clean towel over one shoulder or chest when you burp your baby. Line the towel over your shoulder so that it rests under the baby’s chin. The towel will keep your clothes from getting dirty if your baby spits up milk. You can also use the clean part of the washcloth to wipe your baby’s mouth and nose after burping.

Tip : If you don’t have a burp pad for your baby, you can use a small sheet, face towel or bath towel.

Hold your baby close to your chest so that his chin rests on your shoulder. If your baby sleeps on your arm after feeding, carefully transfer him to your shoulder. Position the baby so that his chin rests on the blanket over his shoulder. Place one hand under the bottom to support the baby and the other hand behind the baby’s back. [2] X Research Source
- If you’re sitting in a recliner, you can lean back a little to make it easier to switch positions without waking your baby.
- Be ready to support your baby’s head with the hand behind your baby’s back if he or she makes sudden movements during sleep.

Pat your baby on the back to help him burp. Pat the baby on the back with the hand that is placed behind the baby’s back. Don’t clap hard or suddenly, as doing so won’t help your baby burp any faster and may wake him up. Continue patting until your baby burps. [3] X Research Sources
- If you are in a rocking chair, rock the chair to soothe and help your baby continue to sleep. If you’re in a regular chair, you can rock it gently to soothe your baby.

Put your baby back in the crib or bassinet after he has burped. After burping your baby, carefully place your baby back in the crib or bassinet. Place it slowly so your baby won’t wake up. [4] X Research Sources
- Make sure there is only a mattress in the crib, no thick blankets, pillows or stuffed animals that could suffocate the baby.
Put the baby on your lap
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3d/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Burp-a- Sleeping-Baby-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3d/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-5- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place the baby on the back of the lap so that the baby’s head is higher than the belly. Carefully move the sleeping baby onto your lap. Lay your baby on his stomach so that his chest, belly, and legs are level with your thighs. Lift the leg under the baby’s chest about 5 cm so that the baby’s head and chest are higher than the belly.

- You can put a piece of cheesecloth on your baby’s lap, around the baby’s mouth to protect the clothes, in case the baby spits up milk. [6] X Trusted Source National Health Service (UK) Go to Source

Adjust the baby’s head so that the baby can breathe easily. If your baby’s mouth and nose are close to your lap, turn or lift her head slightly so that her mouth and nose are not covered. Use one hand to gently support your baby’s head while adjusting the position. [7] X Research Sources
- Do not place your hand on the baby’s neck or near the throat when adjusting the baby’s head to avoid making it difficult for the baby to breathe.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/62/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Burp-a- Sleeping-Baby-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/62/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-7- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Pat your baby on the back until he burps. Gently pat your baby’s back and listen to see if he’s burped. Avoid strong or sudden pats, as you will not only not help your baby burp faster, but you will also wake him up if you do. [8] X Research Sources
- Your baby may burp right away or after a few minutes.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/42/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Burp-a- Sleeping-Baby-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/42/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-8- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Put your baby back in his crib or bassinet after burping him. After your baby has burped, you can gently lift him up and put him back in the crib or bassinet. Place your baby on his or her back in a bassinet or crib with only a mattress pad. [9] X Research Source
- Never place thick blankets, pillows, or stuffed animals in a baby’s crib or crib, as these pose a risk of suffocation.
Tip : If your baby has gas and colic (cries for 3 or more hours a day or every night), it could be a sign that he is swallowing air while crying. Talk to your pediatrician for advice on treating colic and making your baby more comfortable. [10] X Research Source
Reduces need to help baby burp
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/10/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Burp-a- Sleeping-Baby-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/10/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Burp your baby when you see him struggle or fuss while feeding. Young babies can’t tell you that they need to burp, so you have to understand their body language to know when they’re gassy and need to burp. Most babies need to burp when they struggle with feeding, fuss, and are visibly upset. [11] X Research Source
- If you’ve tried for several minutes and your baby still won’t burp, it’s probably because of another problem, such as a wet diaper. [12] X Research Source
- If your baby shows signs of discomfort from bloating, such as arching his back, try putting him on his back for a tummy massage or kicking his feet. This can push the air out of the baby’s belly. [13] X Trusted Source National Health Service (UK) Go to Source
Do you know? Your baby can burp on his own by 4-6 months, so you may not have to help him burp after this age. [14] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6d/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Burp-a- Sleeping-Baby-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6d/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-10- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Keep track of your baby’s burps after feeding. Make a note of how many times your baby needs help burping after each feed, such as keeping a journal of the times your baby feeds and when you have to help her burp. If your baby doesn’t burp a lot during the day, chances are you won’t have to worry about burping her at night either.
- Breastfed babies tend to burp less often than bottle-fed babies. [15] X Research Source
- If you’re bottle-feeding, look for special bottles that help remove air while your baby feeds. This type of bottle reduces the amount of air in the baby’s belly.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-11.jpg/v4-460px-Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby- Step-11.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-11.jpg/v4-728px-Burp- a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-11.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Burp your baby after switching sides or after he has taken 60-90 ml of milk. In general, most breastfed babies need to be burped when you switch sides or after a feeding is over. Bottle-fed babies generally need to burp after every 60-90 ml of milk. [16] X Trusted Source HealthyChildren.org Go to Source
- burping your baby more often during feedings also reduces the need to help burp your baby when he’s asleep.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a2/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-12.jpg/v4-460px-Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby- Step-12.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a2/Burp-a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-12.jpg/v4-728px-Burp- a-Sleeping-Baby-Step-12.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Avoid forcing your baby to burp if he feels comfortable after feeding. Your baby doesn’t need to burp after each feed, as long as he seems comfortable and doesn’t have gas. Your baby may burp during the next feed or burp more, and this is normal. [17] X Research Source
- For example, if your baby is sleeping soundly after feeding and shows no signs of discomfort from gas, you can just let him sleep.
Advice
- You can talk or sing softly lullabies to soothe and relax your baby, and even encourage burping.
