Another burping question

kmcd23kmcd23 member
in May 2013 Moms
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.

    My little man does this too. He's clocked me pretty hard a few times. Doesn't seem to affect him as he continues bopping his head around.

    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.
