There are a couple of ways you can wind your newborn and help them pass any trapped gas.
To start, make sure your baby’s head and neck are supported and that their body is straight — not scrunched or curled up.
Then gently place your baby over your shoulder or across your lap or sit them up on your knee.
Keeping their head supported without placing pressure on their throat, gently rub or pat their back until they burp.
If your baby is still uncomfortable, you can try lying them on their back and gently moving their legs like they’re pedalling a bicycle. You can also give their tummy a gentle massage.
These can help to promote digestion and encourage any trapped wind to move through their system.
If you have any concerns you should speak to your GP or health visitor and ask for their advice.
