Burping after breastfeeding is a very common situation because babies' digestive systems are not yet mature. Air swallowed while the baby nurses can lead to gas discomfort. To prevent this, after nursing, hold your baby upright and gently pat their back to help release gas. Usually holding them upright for about 10-15 minutes is enough. Gentle circular massage on the back from bottom to top can also help. If gas-releasing lasts over 20 minutes and the baby seems restless, this might indicate underlying reflux or another digestive issue; in that case, consulting a pediatrician is recommended. Gas discomfort generally decreases on its own around 3-4 months.
