Guest guest Posted June 20, 2000 Report Share Posted June 20, 2000 Hi everyone, Does anyone else have trouble getting their baby to burp? I have been having trouble with my 5 week old. I know he needs to burp (I can hear his stomach rumble, and he acts like he's uncomfortable), but I can't get him to do it. I've tried putting him across my lap, on my shoulder, and sitting him up, as well as rubbing his back instead of patting, but nothing seems to work. Then about 15 minutes later he will let out a burp on his own, but a good amount of breastmilk comes up with it. Any suggestions? Also, I've noticed that quite a few of you are stay-at-home moms. Do any of you work from home to help supplement your family's income? I REALLY do not want to return to work (although I have at least until mid-October off) but I'm having a hard time coming up with a way to make ends meet without me working. Is there a web site that has legitimate work from home opportunities? It seems like everything I've found so far is a scam. Any help would be VERY appreciated. nne >From: breastfeedingegroups >Reply-To: breastfeedingegroups >To: breastfeedingegroups >Subject: Digest Number 1393 >Date: 20 Jun 2000 07:55:32 -0000 > >------------------------------------------------------------------------ >eGroups Alert: Save on long distance calls with beMANY.
