In most cultures the mother holds the baby on her lap to breastfeed. Ethnic women in central Asia, between the Black, Caspian and Mediterranean Seas, in Georgia, Armenia, eastern Turkey and Syria, have or had the custom of leaning over the baby lying on its back in the cradle, which has a support bar above it to lean on while breastfeeding. These babies are not held for burping after feeding.
