Everyone seems to have an opinion on the best way to burp a baby. There are even people who say burping isn’t necessary at all!
If you’ve tried a few different ways and it still takes a while for your baby to burp after a feed, you’ll definitely want to see this video by a mom on TikTok. She saw a technique on TikTok herself, then tried it out. Her results pretty much blew us away (and we’ve seen everything!).
Meredith Reyes (@mrsstringy) posted a video with the following caption: “One of the best things I’ve seen on TikTok is how to burp a baby.” She demonstrates this technique with her daughter on her lap. Check out the video here.

@mrsstringy Goodbye back pats. This works every time & makes her burp like a full-grown man. #momsoftiktok #babiesoftiktok #babyhack ? original sound – Meredith Reyes
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!
The technique breaks down like this:
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.
The last step is easy: Sit back and witness a big, satisfying burp!
It almost seems too good to be ...
