The technique for burping a baby with neonatal disorders may vary depending on the specific condition. Here are some general steps:
Positioning: Hold the baby upright, either over your shoulder, sitting on your lap, or lying face down across your lap. Make sure their head is supported. Gentle Patting: Pat or rub the baby’s back gently but firmly. Avoid rough movements as they can be harmful, especially for preterm infants or those with RDS. Be Patient: Some babies may take longer to burp, especially if they have conditions like hypotonia which can affect muscle tone and coordination.
