Babies cry for various reasons, but you can’t always decide why. If your baby cries a lot it can feel very traumatic, sometimes the trapped wind can make babies uncomfortable, but if you “burp” him before you put him to bed to rest, it will help. In the middle of a feed, sit your baby upright on your knee, gently prop him forward with your hand on his chest, thumb and forefinger under his chin, which gently lifts your baby’s chest away from your tummy , then rub or pat him on the back. This will dislodge any wind. Another way is to hold him up to the shoulder and rub or pat her back. Either way, you are extending your body slightly, rather than being in a crouched position. Protect your clothes with a cloth to avoid stains from regurgitated milk, with the burp. Repeat this at the end of the feeding. Your baby may already be very sleepy and ready for a nap.
