The proper way to burp your baby is to hold your baby upright after breastfeeding and pat your back for 1-2 minutes.
Burp your baby after breastfeeding. The baby needs to be held upright, facing the mother’s face. The baby’s head rests on the mother’s shoulder. The mother gently pats the baby’s back with her hand for 1-2 minutes to allow the air that the baby swallowed while breastfeeding to escape and prevent overflow.
When burping, the palms of the hands should be together, slightly bent to form a hollow depression in the center, and gently pat the baby’s back from the bottom up. Babies who breastfeed more rapidly may swallow more gas, so you can extend the time of back patting to minimize spitting up.
Pay attention to the baby’s head and neck when patting the back. At this time the baby’s head and neck muscles are not very capable of supporting the head, so as not to cause cervical spine and muscle injuries due to incorrect posture. When patting the back, the movement should be light and heavy moderately.
