We'll do all of the above if our default isn't working, but what works best (and forces a BIG burp out almost every time) is her sitting in our lap with her back snug against our stomach, and rocking forward with her. We keep rocking for about a minute, and if it hasn't worked by then which is unusual, we try the others.
Over the shoulder and with her sitting up. If I want her to sleep or stay asleep then I do it over the shoulder but if she is awake, I'll have her sit up and burp her.
We use all of the above as well..I tend to do over the shoulder and DH tends to do sitting up on his lap, but we also do laying across our laps if she is really fussy. Our doctor said that laying the baby face down across our thighs/knees can help relieve some gas pressure as well, if she is fussy.
