Things You'll Need
- Burp cloth
Instructions
Keep an eye on how much formula the puppy is drinking and stop it halfway through the feeding to burp it.
Hold the puppy up against your shoulder as you would with a newborn baby. Having a burp cloth or dish towel on your shoulder will keep the mess to a minimum, as the puppy may spit up or drool.
Gently rub your hand on the puppy's back in small circles and pat its back until you hear it burp. Continue in this motion for several minutes until the puppy relaxes, then continue with the feeding. You may want to try burping the puppy once more after the feeding.
