Burp a Baby
(3 steps)
|
|
Ahh, the joys of parenthood!
You probably don't remember this, but when you were a nursing infant there was a little problem. Every time that you had a nipple in your mouth you'd get some air (along with your milk) in every swallow. Which meant you'd feel full before getting enough nutritional liquid (to use the 90s term), and would need to be burped so you could nurse some more.
Lucky for you, someone knew how to burp you. Now you can return the favor.
Before you begin
There are three classic ways to burp your baby. No matter which one you use, it's very important to properly support your baby's neck and head. An infant's neck muscles are very weak, and you should be careful not to let the head flop forward or backwards.
The other very important thing to remember is to use a towel or cloth diaper to protect your clothing where your baby's face will be resting. You won't forget to do this twice.
