[blparent] burping babies

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

I don't know if the book is available in an electronic format.  I ordered 
both "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and "What to Expect the First 
Year" from NLS on tape.  I also went to the Web site, www.whattoexpect.com, 
but I found the books on tape more helpful because I could listen to them 
while I folded laundry or did other things around the house, or while I was 
resting during my pregnancy.
