How Long do you have to burp your infant?

Question

How Long do you have to burp your infant?

Answer 1

When my son was first born it took him about 5-10 Min's to get a good burp out of him. Now that he's 6 months, I always nurse him laying down and as soon as I pick him up he lets out a good burp on his own. Burps like an old man

Answer 2

Usually 1-3 minute(s).

If they haven't burped by 5 minutes tops, odds are they don't have to. =)

Good luck <3

Answer 3

My four breastfed children almost never needed burped.  In fact, it was almost impossible to get them to burp.  I did have one child that would occasionally get a bit fussy a little bit after nursing.  Then, I picked her up, patted her back for less than 10 seconds, and she was taken care of.

Answer 4

until they burp>?

or do you mean how long until my baby burps?...he usually burps on his own.

When he was just born, I could be sitting there for about 15-20 minutes sometimes. Now he just gets them up on his own...He'll be 5 months next week.

Answer 5

There are 2 answers here.  :-)

Timewise per burp... depends upon the age of the baby but typically until they burp.  As they got older I was able to wiggle their tummy around and hear the gas bubble and know if they had a burp in there.

Agewise, pretty much until they can burp on their own.  I found that time was around the same time they learned to sit up on their own.  I could sit them in an exersaucer and they'd burp.  Somewhere around 6 months or so I wouldn't have to burp them much anymore.

Answer 6

I burp all of mine until they do a burp.

Answer 7

if you mean each time you burp them, until they burp.  But if you mean at what age can you stop.  When they sit upright on their own.

Answer 8

until they burp, or vomit all over you. my son usually vomited.
