Plus, what if you aren’t even going to take your baby out of the seat? Why can’t you leave your little one in there and throw a blanket over him or her? Well, you are on the right track.

A mother watching her baby sleep in their crib.

Every parent of a newborn has the same question after their first night with their precious new bundle of joy. When do babies sleep through the night? All it takes is those first sleepless 24 hours to wonder if you are ever going to sleep again.

How to burp a baby isn't always second nature to new parents. Some say it's an actual talent to gently coax that burp from a little one after feeding before it leads to discomfort, but it's not that complicated. Once you learn a position that works well for your baby it shouldn't be difficult to burp them with ease, but there are do's and don'ts to burping that can help you have success every time.
