[blparent] baby does not burp

[sharon howerton]

This older generation (<smile>-I am 61 and loved those cloth diapers!) used 
to call those cloth diapers my crap catchers. Now I do the same over my left 
shoulder thing with dish towels when washing dishes. (My sons are 29 and 
26.) Sad thing for Hina is that she seems to have physical issues herself as 
she adjusts to a new baby and a premature one at that. Hope all of us can be 
of help. I'm sure that what is scary is thinking that it might be necessary 
to contact the pediatrician or a nurse and how will they react to this blind 
mom having trouble burping her baby.
