Mum shows hack to help your baby burp 'every time'

A mum has shared a hack that makes her baby burp "every time", and with gusto.

TikToker Meredith Reyes who goes by @mrsstringy shared an explainer video which now has over 4.6 million views.

In the video text she writes "One of the best things I've seen on TikTok is how to burp my baby."

In a voiceover, she then explains how she holds her baby so she can burp.

"One hand pressed against her back for straight posture, the other one under their chin, for an open airway."

After a few moments, the baby lets out a deep, loud burp.

In the video caption, the mum adds: "Goodbye back pats. This works every time & makes her burp like a full-grown man."

After one commenter asked for further instruction on how the mum exactly places her hands, the TikToker shared a follow-up video with clearer instructions.

Filming her flat palm against her daughter's back, Reyes says in the video, "I'm just holding my hand firmly against her spine, so it's straight.

"And then I'm holding my hand underneath her chin, because she can't hold up her head yet, she's only a few months old."

Mums have swarmed the comments with thanks, with many marvelling at the sound of the baby's belching.

"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 commented.

"The instant relief lol," another joked.

"I'm a midwife and this is what [I] teach people. It works. Back pats do nothing lol," a third person commented.

In response, Reyes wrote: "No one at the hospital taught me this! Glad you're spreading the word."

One mum shared: "I set mine up like this and slightly bounced my knee. Worked every time. And If they spew, it goes in the floor. Not my shoulder."
