After feeding, I hold my baby upright but sometimes 10 minutes go by without a burp. How long should I wait, or should I give up?

Some babies don't burp after every feeding—this is completely normal. Waiting about 10-15 minutes in an upright position is usually enough—if no burp comes and your baby seems comfortable and happy, you don't need to keep trying. If your baby isn't squirming, pulling their legs up toward their belly, or crying, they may not have gas or may have already released it on their own. Giving up isn't the answer; reading your baby's signals is what matters here. If your baby becomes uncomfortable after a feeding, arches, kicks their legs toward their belly, or cries, then try belly massage or leg cycling to help.
