This is worth getting out of lurking to post for.
SoulEdge used to be the "young" lurker. I bet he's like 40 years old and balding now.
Hey Bolty, here's a tip. After dinner, you gotta burp that little dude vigorously. Never think "i guess he doesn't need to burp". Trust me, he does. If you can't get a burp out of him, you are in serious danger of projectile vomit.
The best way to burp a youngling is to cradle him face-down in your left arm. Your left hand supports the face/neck and he's straddling your elbow. Whap him up and down the spine with the free right hand to ask politely for a burp. In my experience it might take up to 30 minutes or so of backwhapping to get a decent burp.
