After many frustrating hours spent, we may have cracked the burping code!!! 'We' being Uncle Casey and Soon-to-be Aunt Ashley!! Mommy and Daddy had tried everything from the high burp to the low burp to the bouncing burp to the laying down/sitting up combo burp to the leaning forward and firmly patting burp to the letting Jack lay down on his back for awhile and fall asleep then wake back up to burp, burp to the sitting straight up and putting pressure on his stomach burp to the over-the-shoulder burp to the laying on his stomach and rubbing his back burp and everything in-between. Then, on Friday night, Casey and Ashley waltz into Jack's room, feed him, and burp him effortlessly!! Just like that! It was the breakthrough we had been waiting for!! You may think that it was beginners' luck, but no! They did it not once, not twice, but three times in a row!!!! It appears that the trick is to sit him upright, lean him slightly forward, and tap ever-so-gently on his back. We had been patting too hard.
By the look on Jack's face, he was quite surprised , too!
Afterwards, Jack nuzzled in and fell contently asleep as if to say, "Thanks, guys!"
