Sandra Lang's book Feeding Pre-Term babies is excellent, with
photographs and references. Available amazon, IIRC.

'They'??? Can we assume this means the mother?! Not criticising
you, Pam, but the set-up where babies are 'allowed' to do certain
things, and 'they' take over : (

Poor doctor. Maybe he/she has sensitive ears and doesn't like to hear
babies burp...shame . Pesky babies. Maybe 'they' could devise a way
to teach them to burp more silently.
