Hi there! I totally understand where you're coming from. It can be really tricky to burp a baby, especially when they're so cozy and sleepy after nursing. But it's great that you've reached out for advice.
First off, don't feel guilty about struggling to make your baby burp. It's completely normal, and every baby is different. Some babies just don't burp easily, and that's okay. It's also common for babies to spit up a little milk, even if you do burp them, so try not to worry too much about that.
One thing you can try is different burping positions. Instead of just holding your baby against your shoulder, you can also try sitting them on your lap and supporting their chest and chin with your hand while gently patting or rubbing their back. Another position to try is laying your baby face down across your lap and gently patting their back.
If your baby is farting, that's a good sign that the gas is moving through their system, even if they're not burping. You can also try some gentle tummy massage to help with gas and digestion.
And if your baby falls asleep without burping, that's okay too. You can always try to burp them again after they wake up, or if they seem uncomfortable or gassy.
Just know that you're doing a great job, and it's all a learning process for both you and your baby. Hang in there, and remember that every baby is unique, so find what works best for your little one. Keep up the good work, mama! 😊
