If you have ever had a little one in the past, you already know how difficult it can be to get a burp out of them. We have had many moments of frustration along these lines.
You try and try and try but nothing happens. For us, the worst-case scenario takes place when the burp does not happen but the baby ends up throwing up on us instead.
That’s what makes this trick such a special one. Meredith Reyes, the mother who uses this hack, claims that it works every time.
“Goodbye back pats. This works every time & makes her burp like a full-grown man,” she says. The clip has been gaining in popularity ever since she posted, as parents everywhere search for the best way to provide their child with some much-needed relief. It has already received over half a million likes and over 20,000 shares. We would like to think that the proof is in the pudding.
The comments seem to agree, as mothers are chiming in to let the world know that the hack works perfectly. “Omg!!! I just tried it with my newborn who is impossible to burp and it worked! This is going to make nightly feedings so much easier!” one commentator exclaimed.
A midwife also got in on the conversation and offered up some key tips. She said that this is the way she has been taught to burp a baby, and according to her? The back pats that so many of us rely upon do not do anything at all. She even claims that there have been studies on the matter that prove that the back pats are ineffective.
Who knew? Parents who have already had to deal with this issue might wish that they had gotten their sleep back but that’s okay. It is never too late to learn, especially for those with newborns right now (or those who have one on the way).
We are just happy for all of the babies out there who are going to be able to enjoy a less gassy existence going forward!
