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.
A much better strategy is to burp her frequently, even if she shows no discomfort. The pause and the change of position alone will slow her gulping and reduce the amount of air she takes in. If sheâs bottle-feeding, burp her after every 2 to 3 ounces (60â90 ml). If sheâs nursing, burp her when she switches breasts.
