[blparent] baby does not burp

[Tammy]

Hi,

These will work for a parent who has two able arms, but I think she said she 
has limited mobility in her left arm so these methods would be hard to do in 
that case.

Hi,
There are a few ways you can burp a baby, mostly using one hand.
Hold him against you with one arm and use your hand to lightly pat his
back. The pats should be rithmic, gentle yet firm. From time to time
you can  use your hand to ake circular masage-like motions from the
bottom to the top of his back. Then pat the top of his back again, just
between the shoulder blades. This ensures that any air that the baby
has swallowed will come up to the top so that he can burp it out.
Another simple way to burp a baby is to put him on your shoulder and
pat his back as described before.
I'm sorry if I didn't explain it right, but I hope it helps at least 
somewhat.

Bernadetta
