When LO is wide awake for burps, he insists on lifting his head the whole time, but then he head butts my jaw or my collar bone a lot. It hurts me, but he doesn't seem phased.
Since one hand is holding and one is patting, I'm having trouble avoiding it.
Normal part of learning head control, or am I doing something wrong?
Re: Another burping question
Uh oh! Now I know what's coming next! Lol
That's what I do. I lean her forward enough to where she's still sitting up to get a burp out, but if she throws her head back, I can easily catch it.
I do this too. However there are times I'll put him up on my shoulder and get whacked. In fact I got a nice head butt to the cheekbone earlier today. It was so hard I thought I'd have a bruise! It didn't seem to faze LO at all....
I do the lap one as well, but I find I have to change it up to always get a burp. Sometime one works, sometimes the other.
