"Tick tock" baby burping technique works every time |

A couple from the UK sent this tip in to
Parent Hacks, but I thought I'd also share it here -- I've since heard from several parents that it works amazingly well!
Simply hold the baby by the armpits (support head with fingers) and allow his legs to dangle freely. Also, baby's face should be level with yours. Then very gently tilt him from side to side (we call this 'tick tock' and actually say 'tick tock' as we're doing it). 3 or 4 tick tocks are normally enough for that wind to come. We've done this with 2 babies and it works every time, and each of our friends who've tried agree, this is very effective.
