Ds2 (2 weeks old) doesn't seem comfortable when I put him on my chest to burp him. He's the same way with Dh. He'll start trying to move his head and upper body. I have yet to find a comfortable spot for him that way. I was just curious if anyone else's LO was that way? His umbilical cord has fallen off already. With Ds1 it was so nice to hold him upright that way for a good 10-15 minutes or so while he digested. I guess I'll just have to burp with him on my lap, but I worry more about spit-up that way.

I mostly just hold my baby in a seated position, too. I get better results that way than when I put her on my shoulder. FWIW, she spits up more when I put her on my shoulder than when she's sitting, so maybe that will work for you too? Or put a large burp cloth under him, or a bib on him before feeding/burping?
