This viral Tiktok shows a secret way to burp a baby—and we’re FLOORED!
The caption reads: “Goodbye back pats. This works every time & makes her burp like a full-grown man.” If you were hesitant about this technique from the start, Reyes’s amazed reaction at the end should be enough to convince you!First, hold your baby on your lap, making sure they are facing either your right or your left side.
Next, hold one of your hands against their back to keep their posture straight, and place the other hand under their chin so their airway is open.It almost seems too good to be true! How did this happen with no back patting?! And why is this method not more well-known?! Skeptical? The comments section proves this method works. “Omg!! I just tried it with my newborn who is impossible to burp and it worked!” says one commenter. “I just did this outta curiosity and omg within seconds!!” says another.
On the other hand, many comments prove that while effective, this method definitely isn’t unknown. “My son had acid reflux and this is the only burp that ever worked helped” said one person. And as always, the midwives know what’s up: “I’m a midwife and this is what we teach people. It works. Back pats do nothing lol.”
So there you go. Forget the back pats—it’s all about sitting them up straight and opening their airway.
