Can you lay baby down with hiccups?

Why does my baby not burp at night?

Sometimes babies don’t need to burp as much at nighttime because they eat slower and don’t get as much air while feeding. If they wake up crying, soothe them, check to see if they need a clean diaper, feed them again if it’s time, and try to burp them after that feeding.

How do you get a stubborn baby to burp?

Patting your baby on the back helps move the air bubbles up, but sometimes the patting isn’t enough. If he won’t burp, try patting him more firmly, as light pats may not be effective. Another option is to pat his bottom. Many parents swear this is the only way to get their babies to burp.
