A mum has shared her 'foolproof' hack to wind babies, which is very important during and after feeding. Luckily, i's super simple once you've got the technique down

It's important for parents to burp or wind their baby during or after feeds - but it's easier said than done.

Some parents will know how distressing it can be when your little-one is in pain from gas - and nothing you do seems to help ease the pain. While some babies find it easy to burp - others need a helping hand.

There are several different positions that can help your baby burp - and many of them are recommended by the NHS. For example, you can pop your baby over your shoulder - with their chin resting on your shoulder, and you supporting the head and shoulder area with one hand. Then gently rub and pat their back.

But what if this doesn't work? Mum Ebby Moyer has come up with a 'foolproof' method which always works when it comes to winding her baby. In a recent TikTok, the content creator talked about the importance of burping newborns, which she said was "underrated". She continued: "Because if they are upset, and they've already been fed and changed, chances are they need to burp, and if they need to burp. If they can't get the burp out it will turn into gas, and that is way more difficult. They will be way more upset."

According to Ebby, if you give your baby a "little pat" on the back and they don't burp, you shouldn't be fooled into thinking they don't need to get any wind out. Instead, you "need to change your technique". Ebby has a "secret, foolproof burping technique", which you can see demonstrated over on her account @ebbymoyer.

In the video, Ebby can be seen with her newborn on her knee, with an arm on their back and chest to support them. "Then rest their head between your fingers," the content creator continued. Then, Ebby picked the baby up, and placed her second hand "under the butt". She continued: "Just wiggle them around."

As soon as Ebby did this, her baby let out a big burp - and they looked visibly happier. She continued: "If that doesn't work I usually sit them down and I smooth my hand over their spine to straighten it out, and he usually does a big stretch. Then I'll rock him side-to-side and around in a circle. Because you want to make space in their tummy." Still with a hand under his chin, Ebby then pats the baby's back.

If that still doesn't work, the mum keeps changing positions - including putting the baby over her shoulder. "You just kind of keep them moving around. You don't want to keep them hunched up."
