Burping My Baby

I have a pregnancy journal that has different bits of information about pregnancy each day. Today under the section Parenting Tips it reads: "When you hold your baby to your shoulder to burp it after a feeding, put a towel on your shoulder to catch dribbles. If you're not comfortable holding the baby at your shoulder, try laying it on your lap, tummy down with it's head turned a little to the side. Rub it's back from the bottom up or pat gently. You can also burp a baby by sitting it on your lap, placing a hand on it's chest, and leaning it forward while gently patting it's back." These are all positions that I have used so many times to burp my babies. I could picture holding baby Jacob's little chest and patting his back so easily. I think I avoid thinking about the kind of interactions I will have with him because it gets me SO excited and I know I still have some time left before I can snuggle him! I can't wait to hold his cute little cheeks in my hand and smell his perfect baby breath.
