Breasfed babies don't usually need to be burped. My 2 never did. It's bottled that let in air. Boobies are air free.

My two must not have "latched on tightly enough" because I had to burp both of them. It wasn't the 'source' of the milk being without air, it was the WAY mine decided to partake....if that makes sense.

That makes total sense. My youngest latched on in a way that caused her to gulp air with her milk for a few weeks and then figured out how to do it without getting the air. Haven't had to burp her since. I think it was more a problem of my let down reflex (it was so strong she had to gulp when it let down) and once she got use to it, she figured out how to work with it so she didn't swallow air.
