Not 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. Unless you ate lima beans and/or chocolate. I found that when Mommy ate chocolate, baby tended to get major gas.

When I was nursing, I'd dream about Snickers bars. I could smell the chocolate in my sleep. I just craved chocolate, probably because I consider it a major food group AND I was denied. As for lima beans, BLECH.
