OBJECTIVE:

To help dads learn effective, gentle burping techniques that support digestion, reduce discomfort, and create a calmer post-feeding routine.

Why Burping Matters:

Babies swallow air while feeding — whether they’re breastfeeding or bottle-feeding — and that air needs to come out. Regular burping:

  • Prevents gas and bloating

  • Reduces spit-up or reflux

  • Makes your baby feel more comfortable

  • Helps your baby sleep better after feeds

  • Gives you time to bond and check in with how they’re feeling

When to Burp Your Baby:

  • During feeding: Especially if baby seems fussy, slows down, or pulls away

  • After feeding: Always burp at the end of a feed, even if baby seems content

  • Bottle-feeding tip: Pause halfway through the bottle to burp

💡 Dad Tip: Every baby is different. Some need burping more often than others — and that’s totally normal.

How to Know It's Working:

  • You might hear a small burp — or even a few!

  • Baby might relax or even fall asleep

  • No burp? That’s okay — not every baby burps after every feed. Try for a few minutes and move on if they’re calm.
