Problem: Article: Babies are gassier than adults, and this can lead to pain and discomfort. a. To burp your baby, all you have to do is hold him/her in your left arm, having the side of his/her face on your shoulder. Then, pat your baby's back gently until you hear a burp. Rubbing your baby's back from the bottom upward can also help ease your baby's pain. But just picking up your baby will often help. Make sure that the clothes are not too tight or pinching your child. Tags or seams may be another issue. Make sure that the clothes are of a comfortable material. Additionally, your baby may be feeling too hot or cold in the clothes. Feel your baby's skin and make sure this isn't a factor. Your baby may just be fussy because you are doing something new and he/she doesn't like it. Maybe you switched to a different brand of formula, maybe you took your baby for a walk earlier than usual, or maybe you're spending time in a new part of the house your baby isn't used to. Though you can't stick to the same routine forever, you should note that this can be contributing to the baby's fussiness. If you're trying to make a change, you can try to ease the baby into it, by going for a walk 15 minutes earlier every day instead of taking a walk 2 hours earlier one day, for example. One reason for your baby to be fussy is just that he/she may be tired. If you see him/her yawning or just seeming restless, then put him/her down for a nap. Your baby may not be aware of the fact that he/she needs more rest, but you should let him/her calm down, turn off the lights, and soothe him/her until he/she is ready for sleep. Even if your baby is acting very fussy and is active, this may be a sign that he/she feels overworked and needs some help calming down. Another reason why your baby may be fussy is because there may be too much going on at home. Maybe you have a loud TV or music on, maybe the lights are too bright, maybe there are too many people around or maybe there are just too many toys in your baby's crib. This is a major reason for a baby to get fussy, and if you suspect that this is the case, then you may need to simplify things and reduce the noise and excitement around the house for a while to calm your fussy baby.  See what an impact turning down the sound or the lights may have on your baby. You'd be surprised by how much better your baby may instantly feel. If you are introducing new people to the baby, try to do it one at a time in a calm, gentle way. Your baby is likely to feel overwhelmed and fussy if there are ten new relatives hovering over him all at once. Or it is in the middle of a loud restaurant rather than a quiet living room. One reason why your baby might be crying or wailing is simply because he/she is feeling neglected and wants more attention. This can happen if your baby has been alone for a while, if you haven't made physical contact for a few hours, or if you're just not giving your child enough time. If this is the case, then you should hold, kiss, hug, or just spend time with your baby. This can help ease the fussiness pretty quickly, if this is your baby's reason for being upset. If your baby is crying, ask yourself when the last time you held your baby was. If more than a few hours have passed, then you should give your baby more physical affection immediately. Not all cries should be treated alike. This takes time and attention, but as you get to know your fussy baby, you will be able to distinguish between his/her various cries. One cry may mean he/she is hungry, while another may let you know he/she is wet. Though each baby is different, it is important to know that hungry babies tend to quietly fuss and squirm, and to escalate their cries as their hunger increases. A baby who is feeling pain, whether it's from illness, gas, or teething, will have a more piercing cry along with a pained look. The more attuned you are to your baby's needs and to what he/she is telling you, the more easily you'll be able to soothe your baby.
Summary: Does your baby need burping? Make sure your baby's clothes are comfortable. Make sure your baby isn't upset by a change in routine. Make sure your baby isn't simply tired. Give the baby less stimulation if he/she is overwhelmed. Give the baby more affection if he/she feels neglected. See if you can distinguish between your baby's cries.

Problem: Article: Pour the sake you want to serve into a bottle with a narrow, tall neck and open mouth. You should not fill the container to the brim. Sake expands as it heats, and if you fill the container too high, it could burst out of the top. Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover roughly three-quarters of the height of the decanter you are using for the sake. Place the saucepan on the stove and heat it over medium-high until the water begins to boil. If you want to be more traditional, there is a special utensil known as a "kan-tokkuri" you should use. If you decide to use it, heat the water in the stove with a saucepan or kettle and pour the water into the kan-tokkuri after it starts to boil. Turn off the heat and slowly submerge the sake in the hot water. Lower it carefully to prevent any water from getting inside the container. Let it sit, uncovered, for one to three minutes.  Place the sake as close to the center of the saucepan as possible. Do not allow it to tip or tilt as it sits in the water. For a more precise way of heating sake, you can measure the temperature of the drink using a thermometer to determine if it has reached your desired temperature. If you want to check the temperature of sake without the use of a thermometer, you can gauge it by looking. If small bubbles begin to rise, the sake is considered to be warm. If bubbles quickly and immediately rise to the surface, then the sake is hot. Carefully lift the decanter of sake out of the water and serve the hot drink immediately. If the container feels too hot to touch with your bare hands, wear oven mitts as you remove it from the hot water. You might also want to consider wiping the bottom dry with a towel before serving sake from the container.
Summary:
Pour the sake into a tokkuri or decanter. Boil water in a saucepan. Gently lower the container of sake into the water. Remove the sake from the water.
