baby burping hold?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

The three most common and effective holds to help babies pass gas:

1. Shoulder hold: Hold the baby upright with their head on your shoulder, belly gently pressed against your shoulder. While supporting the bottom with one hand, you can give light pats from bottom to top on the back with the other hand.

2. Lap hold (football hold): Lay the baby on one of your arms with their chin in your palm. Their belly is supported along your arm. You can stroke their back with your free hand.

3. Over-the-lap hold: Lay the baby face-down on your lap with their head slightly elevated from your lap. Support the head with one hand while giving gentle rhythmic pats to the back with the other hand.

You can try each hold for 10-15 minutes after feeding. The position that comforts your baby varies from baby to baby; it's worth changing positions until the gas comes out.
