Far too much emphasis is placed on winding. It is not imperative for a baby to be winded after a feed. If you do, keep it short – two to three minutes will do. If your baby falls asleep after a feed, don’t disturb her – leave her to sleep!
Here are a few methods:
- Put your baby onto your shoulder and gently tap her back
- Lie her face down across your lap and rub her back in a circular motion
- Sit your baby on your knee, with your hand under her chin and gently bounce her up and down
- Put her in a semi-raised position after a feed
- Gently rub the bones behind the ears
- Give her a dummy
