Health Tip: Burping Your New Baby

(HealthDay News) - To avoid a gassy, fussy baby, burping is an important part of every feeding.
Here are suggestions on how to burp your young infant, courtesy of the Nemours Foundation:

Sit upright, holding your baby against your chest so that the chin is against your shoulder.
OR: Sit your baby upright on your lap or knee, holding the chin gently in your hand.
Always support your baby's head.
Gently pat the infant's back, but not too hard.
If your baby seems fussy during feedings, stop the feeding a few times and burp him or her throughout, then again when the infant is done eating.
