When and how to burp
My baby is 1month 6days old.Initially he didn't burp at all but recently he burps but not always..my question is
1.if he doesn't burp, does that mean his feed wasn't adequate?
2.should I burp him even after a 2minute feeds?
3.if my baby sleeps in my lap after feeding, should I wake him for burping and what if he doesn't wake?

Thank you for your query ma’am
My suggestions
1. Exclusive breast feeding till 6 months of age
2. Burping after every feed is important even after small feeds
3. If he sleeps you can put him over your shoulder and gently rub his back for 2–3 minutes
4. If he passes urine 6–8 times a day then it means his feeding is adequate
