Drape the cloth so that it is under your baby's chin. This will help you avoid getting spit-up on your clothes. You can also use a clean area of the cloth to wipe your baby's mouth and nose after you burp them. If your baby is sleeping in your arms after a feeding, then carefully transfer them to your shoulder. Position your baby so that their chin is resting on your shoulder with the burp cloth on it. Place 1 hand under your baby's bottom to support their weight and place the other hand against their back.  If you are sitting in a rocker or recliner, leaning back slightly may help you to transfer your baby without waking them. Be ready to support your baby's head with the hand that is on their back if needed, such as if they make a sudden movement in their sleep. With the hand that is on your baby's back, pat your baby gently. Do not use sharp or hard taps as these will not make your baby burp faster and are likely to wake them up. Keep patting gently until your baby burps. If you are seated in a rocking chair, rock your baby to help soothe them and keep them asleep. If you're sitting in a regular chair or standing, you can sway back and forth slightly to soothe your baby. After your baby burps, carefully place them on their back in their crib or bassinet. Do this slowly to avoid waking up your baby in the process of transferring them. Make sure that your baby's crib only has a fitted sheet and no heavy blankets, pillows, or stuffed toys which pose a suffocation hazard for your baby.
