During feedings, I need to both burp and change the diaper. Should I burp first or change the diaper first—does the order matter?

Burping first right after feeding is usually the better choice. Your baby is still full and still from nursing; getting his gas out is easier while he's upright and calm. Changing the diaper means laying him down and moving him around, which can trigger gas cramps or cause him to spit up. So the order is: burp first, then change the diaper. That said, if your baby's diaper is so wet or soiled that it's making him uncomfortable and he's resisting feeding, it makes sense to change it first and then continue nursing from where you left off—so the order can bend based on what your baby is telling you.
