Using a Burp Cloth
Before lifting your baby up for burping, place the burp cloth on your shoulder and spread it out to ensure that it absorbs all the spit.
Position it in such a way that your shoulder is completely covered horizontally and that it runs from front to back.
Burp cloths can be used for around six to nine months or until the baby learns to sit or move around on its own so burping is no longer required.
