Burping baby

Hi. I'm a BF mum. My baby often latch on me and fall asleep. Sometimes I skip the burping part because I don't wanna wake baby up. But she kept spitting out milk. I've asked polyclinic during monthly checkup and they advised to burp after every feed. Whenever I tried, she didn't burp either. Like very hard to make her burp 😅 she kept farting though. I will feel guilty whenever I skip the burping part or didn't manage to make her burp..b

My baby is liek that! His spit ups were so often, after every feed and a few times at that. Like you, he latches to sleep so I didn't want to wake up and also tiring having to put him back to sleep 😴 I called the lactation hotline and they said it's fine if baby is not burped often. But nowadays I cannot stand the spit ups so I make effort to burp him. Since he needs to be kept upright after every feed, I put him against my body and just try to burp him for like 15mins. It really makes a lot of diff, lesser spit ups and fewer bedsheets changes now 😂
