Breasfed babies don't usually need to be burped. My 2 never did. It's bottled that let in air. Boobies are air freeNot exactly. A breastfed baby will not burp like a bottle-fed baby does. But they do take in small amounts of air & emit burplets. If your babies didn't, good for you. If I didn't burp my daughter, the air travelled through her digestive tract, which caused cramping and the air coming out the other end.

One of my pals dated a woman who claimed she never farted or burped. Ever.
I don't want to be around for that eruption.

I found that when Mommy ate chocolate, baby tended to get major gas.
