Ok do I burp her after a feed? She is fully breast fed. OH says no but I can feel bubbles so I've tried to burp her. (not easy though she squirms so much or throws herself back!)
Is it normal that she is already moving her head round to people's voices? Not a complaint just a shock she already is.
And she can lift her head to turn it if laying on your chest on her front !! She's not 2 days old yet but j can't remember I'd Rowan could do this or not

Jamie did it so I guess its normal. I was told breastfed babies didn't need burping but if she feels windy I would. We tended to burp Jamie as he struggled with wind (although generally you could sit him up and he'd burp)

Imogen was the same weight as Hermione and she was moving her head straight away. MW said it was cause she was bigger so bit stronger.
I also burped Immi, she never needed it really but i always made a point of doing it just to make sure

haha yes elijah needed lots of help with burps even though he is breastfed, but couldn't do any of those things til quite a bit later! he was 37 weeks though so sort of kind of younger when he was born?! haha i don't think that makes sense. what a clever girl!!!
