NOTE: Once baby is done feeding, burp the baby and keep baby awake at least 10-15 mins before laying baby down for the night. The reason for this is #1 to let the food settle a little before laying baby down and also so that the baby learns to fall asleep on their own. You want to avoid putting baby to bed when they are sleepy from a feeding!
