If there is one problem that every new parent is sure to have sooner or later, it is gas. Well, that is to say that your baby will have gas. Gas pains are one of the most common reasons that babies cry. It can be very frustrating for a parent to watch their little angel cry when there is so little that you can do to help. Everyone seems to think that burping a baby is easy, but there are many different ways to do it. My favorite burp-inducing trick is:
Get your baby dancing.
Well, not literally. What you want to do is, hold your baby in a sitting position on your lap with one hand on his chest, and one on his back ( Make sure your thumb and forefinger are able to steady his head from the front and back). Then, gently lean his top half left to right. When done correctly it will look like your little hunny bunny is doing a silly dance. Because of the effort involved I usually try the “propped up on my shoulder” position, but when that doesn’t work, dancing usually does.
Happy parenting!
