New mother’s may not realize how much babies get sick during burping or after. Also, they might not think about putting a cloth or towel on their shoulder or under they baby’s face while burping them.
I don’t know HOW many times I did not do this myself! It is a great idea to do this, because not only will the parent have to change the baby, but they will have to change themselves. lol
