I wish that someone had impressed upon me more thoroughly the importance of burping. You seriously gotta burp those suckers all the time. And it's not like a few pats on the back after they eat and they're good. You have to just keep at it until you hear a real burp, even if it takes twenty minutes. Because if you don't... it'll be hours of crying later as they try to pass it the long way. In that same vein,
this stuff really does help. Have some on hand before you come home from the hospital.

This. It's a different kind of hard than anything else in the world. When my son was about five weeks old, I broke down sobbing in the grocery store, and trust me, I am not the type.
