Although there is a wide range of ages at which babies stop burping, if your daughter is now 4 months old, and does fine without burping, then you likely can simply stop trying to burp her. It may be that she is just not swallowing much air as she eats anymore.
The ideal time to burp a breastfed newborn is when switching breasts. For instance, after feeding your newborn for 10 minutes using your left breast, burp her and then switch to the right breast for the remainder of the feeding. As babies grow older and become better feeders, you may only need to burp the baby once at the end of each breastfeeding session.
