Proper burping techniques?

I'm having the hardest time getting a burp out of my newborn. She doesn't seem to be uncomfortable at all...but I barely ever hear/feel a burp come out of her. Could someone give me some tried and true burping techniques?

P.S. She is being fed breastmilk from a bottle.

Answers:
I know 3 ways, either up on your shoulder, have them sitting on your lap and support their head (like under their chin area), or lay them across your lap and rub their back. Sometimes rubbing their back awhile will produce results when patting doesn't work.

I used to have trouble burping two of my kids..........I used to sit them on my leg and hold under the jaw and pat their backs.......worked every time and yet sometimes they don't need to burp when you think so---if they didn't I would give them a bit more and try again.
