[blparent] baby does not burp

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

If you cannot hold him up, you can also lay him across your knees.  Be sure 
his head is not lower than his back, and then pat his back and rub in 
rhythmic circles.  His tummy pressing on your knees might feel good to him. 
Practice with a doll if you can find one maybe.
