burping your baby. How long?

[Patrickz]

My mini me has only been burping about half the time lately. He dosent seem to get upset if he does't. How long or when do you know when to stop worring about it. He hasn't started solid food yet and wount for another four weeks per our ped.. Just wondering.

Its funny, I was thinking about that too as I was working the belch out of Leah this afternoon. If I recall correctly its around 3 or 4 months when the sphincter muscles around the stomach work properly to avoid the whole spitting up at the drop of a hat thing. It stuck with Tara when she was little because it became part of the naptime bed time ritual. I usually fed her right before her nap, and part of that was burping/rockabye.
Leah of course is night and day different, when she's done eating, she's ready to party.
If Alex doesn't seem discomforted by not burping, then ... don't. He can probably work it out himself.

Leah's about 70/30 on burps, and when she doesn't it comes out as gas... baby farts, almost as room clearing as dog farts for some reason.

Yeah, that's just the way Jack always was.

I can't remember when my little one stopped needing to burp, but I think it was around four or five months.... eventually he burped by himself, and not it is rare that he does

[Patrickz]

Ok thanks for the help. I guess he is just getting to be a big boy now. He only burped once today and it was on his own well after he had been feed. I don't seem to notice the fart smell that much however but he does fart a lot more then he used to.

Burping and Farting what a great topic. :lol:

we've drifted from the original goal almost a year ago of beer and boobs. Don, has it been a year?!?

[Weston]

Tony if you re-introduce the beer topic, I'll do the boob one....

( * Y * )


:lol:

[Jackson's Dad]

I do believe that beer has officially been reintroduced. Beer beer beer beer!

Speaking of which, on the recommendation of the beer guy at the local Whole Foods, I just tried Blanche de Chambly, a wheat beer on lees. Very wheaty, yeasty and tasty. Yum.

Julian is almost seven months old and still spits up constantly.

[Don-Dad]

Our first son spit up all the time til he went to whole milk, about 1 year of age. He was on soy formula.

Son #2 hardly ever spit up and he too was on soy.

[tt3]

Leah's five months and still spewing strong. :roll:

[Weston]

Alex is almost 10 months now and he still does it every once in a while

[dabrewinguy]

All 3 of mine inherited my iron gut. Maya, the youngest hardly needed burping at all after 3 months. Now she giggles when they slip out :lol:

[Jackson's Dad]

Jack stopped spitting up around 7 or 8 months (can't remember now... but oh, what a difference!). Now that he is into Cheerios (aka baby crack) though, he occassionally will sneeze or babble with his mouth full, spewing Cheerio fragments everywhere. It's like living with a tiny frat boy.

Oh man, I forgot to tell you guys about yesterday morning's, it was a hoot. I was carrying her out of the bedroom and she gave a cough-burp-huuuuuuaaaaaaahhhhh-splat on the wood floor, I swear it sounded like half a bucket of water hitting the floor. (was maybe an ounce, tops). I look at my shoulder at a smiling little squirt and a nice trail down my back. :shock:
Class, I tell ya, pure class.
Can't wait to start getting her hooked on those O's!!! :lol:

I've already taught Audrey to blame any gaseous anomalies on the dog 8)

[homemongo]

I can usually get a good belch out of him (he usually doesn't burp he let's out with a rafter shaker).

But since we have startted introducing food (rice cereal/oatmeal and in the last 2 weeks fruits and veggies), the burps have been harder to come by. He still gets gas pains once in a while.. he'll cry and fuss and when you pick him up BRAPP and then all is well.

And while he didn't spit up much when he first came home, hhe seems to be learning the skill. One day I had a row across my shirt like he was a lawn sprinkler.
