How to Burp Your Baby
Burping babies, whether one does it for their own personal entertainment or to help the baby who has not yet learned to perform this thoroughly important task, is of the utmost importance. A baby who does not burp when he is young will have problems doing so later on in life and could face low self-esteem and humiliation when he or she is unable to compete in burping competitions with friends.
Do you want your child to grow up with that dark shadow looming overhead? We didn’t think so. There are a number of techniques available to burp your babies and we will describe two of the main techniques in detail.
Instructions

1
The first technique involves holding the baby gently with his or her chest resting on one side of your chest and head over your shoulder. Remember to lean back a little and gently hold the back of the head and neck.
-
2
Massage the baby’s back with an upward motion. This will ensure that the direction of the burp moves upward and thus makes sure that it is nothing more than a burp. Remember to do massage gently so that your baby feels comfortable and relaxed.

We should warn you at this point that massaging downwards will cause quite a mess, so don’t try it under any circumstances.

The object here is to make the baby burp not soil a diaper. Unless of course you want to torment someone, in which case the option is available for those who wish to do so.

However, if you wish for your child to be a champion burper later on in life with the ability to send the neighbours into shock then you should try and give the baby as much encouragement and room to develop his or her technique at a young age.

There are two main components that make up a truly legendary burp. Firstly, there is the volume or loudness of the burp and secondly the length. In order to build both up try to make the baby combine all the little burps into one big one. It takes patience but if you put in the effort, your child may one day put those Beats headphones to shame in terms of bass.
