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.
Pat your baby on the back, gently for a minute or so, explains Dr. Forbis. For newborns, make sure you are supporting the head and neck. If your baby is fussy and hasn't burped yet, you may want to try burping, then stop and let them lie on your lap for a minute and then try burping again.. Changing baby's positions can help move those gas bubbles to a better position to be released.
