Do we always burp our baby after feed?

In hospital after delivery, I am taught to burp the baby after feed so that baby feel better and will not have milk stuck in airway resulting in potential vomit milk which happen sometimes in cot when lie down. But other school of thoughts that I found claim is not necessary to burp always. Burp baby is not an easy job cause bb may sometimes resist me to do it due to hunger and frustration. I personally feel is better to burp but at dilemma whether to insist to do it. Any advice on burping?

It is important to burp till the baby starts to turn.

Should we carry baby up when they cry in the cot?

Hi All, recent research say is good to cuddle baby when they cry and this is the best time to build the close bond with them. Baby will turn to distress if we let them cry till tired and this affect their development. On the other hand, many has rebuked this theory and say baby will have more dependency and they will always know we will carry them always when they cry in the end we will suffer. Any opinion on this ever debating myth? I feel dilemma and my own stand is I don carry but my mother in law differ and will carry once baby cry. Thanks!

It is important to pacify a crying baby. The baby cries when in distress, and if you don't pick her up, eventually, the connection between crying and help to come is broken. This can lead to some emotional detachment when the baby grows up.

Any cheap and good recommendations of Diapers brand?

Any diapers brand which is good and comparable to Merries or Mamypoko but more affordable at reasonable prices. My baby always poo heavily after feeding and usage is real high.

How do we know what is the right amount of milk for baby?

Hi all, my baby boy is 19 days old. He need to be feed around every 3 hours. He drink breast milk and most of time top up with formula milk. Total amount ranging from 90ml to 150ml everytime depending on how hungry and if he keep crying. It got me and my wife worried that sometimes he drink a lot and vomit milk. We tried to burp him but not successfully always.

The baby may cry for many reasons, not just hunger. If the baby vomits after a feed, maybe he needed just pacification. Have you tried a pacifier? One of the important things that the French parents do is to practise a pause. Wait at least 20 seconds to a few minutes before picking your baby up. This will give him some time to self-soothe If the baby is crying, carry out this check and see if the baby stops crying. If not, move to the next point. 1. Check the diaper if it is soiled or wet. If yes, change the nappy. 2. Check the back of the neck to see if the baby is too hot or cold. If yes, make the baby more comfortable. 3. Check if the baby is hungry - offer a pacifier/your little finger and see if the baby is pacified. If not, offer a feed 4. Check if the baby is uncomfortable due to something else - even tags on the clothes can cause distress to the babies 5. Check the baby to see if there are other signs causing distress Hope this helps.
