Baby's first lessons.

Lainie has developed a habit of falling asleep on our chests during the burping process. Of course, when we lay her down she wakes up and wants to nurse. I'll nurse her but only for a minute because she is not hungry and so we do the burping again. It is a cycle that needs breaking.
Some of you may be saying she's too young to learn a lesson, but I call it conditioning. Wayland hates it. I want to be able to pacify her with different methods so I am not the only one who can put her down. Wayland says just feed her! Sorry, but this is important enough to put up with a little extra crying. Next lesson will be:

Lay Elaine down before she falls asleep so she doesn't wake up when we stop rocking her or put her down.

The conditioning is going well, I think.
