Yeah in the nicu when he was there I noticed how they would burp him. So I do hold him that way but I only pat his back. I'm gonna try the movement as well to see if it helps :( cause my poor baby is so uncomfortable sometimes ! @dmm1976, thanks a lot.

So a trick I learned in the NICU is kind of hard to explain....but you hold him sitting up right in your lap, on hand on his chest , like you are going to pay his back. But take your other hand and hold his back, using your fingers to keep his head stable kind of move him in a circle from, side back, side front. It pretty much worked every time.
