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?
My girl does that too. I've been head butted many time. Sitting her up and trying to do it is worse because she's all over the place. I can't imagine there being a way to control it.
3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)
IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets
Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13
I sit dd up on my lap. I lean her forward and hold her haw with one hand while I burp her with the other. Otherwise I'll her high enough up so she can easily see over my shoulder and not whacking my chin. Hope these ideas help.

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.
I've started burping her on my shoulder now it seems easier. Also leaning back a bit makes it harder for them to do that cause you have gravity on your side a bit more.
