How often do you still burp LO??

DH and I don't really burp DS much anymore.
He's much more active now and we find that just his own body movements and such are way more effective in getting the gas out than we ever were. So, during the day, we more or less let him burp himself.
I will burp him after his last bottle before bed, just so make sure he's comfortable with no gas bubbles when he gets put down.
I was telling this to our sleep consultant (who is apparently also an infant gas consultant) who was shocked that we no longer burp him at 5 months.
Am I alone here? Or officially the world's worst mother because I don't often burp my baby?

Re: How often do you still burp LO??
I still burp him after every feeding. He gets upset/spits up a lot if I don't.
The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.
Hmmm....now I wonder if I should be more frequently.
We just find during the day, he gets impatient sitting there while we burp him, and usually within a minute or 2 of finishing his bottle, he lets one rip...and never really seems uncomfortable.
I guess every baby is different.
Yep, this is what we do too. If we try to burp her in the middle of the bottle, she won't finish it because she's so pissed off.
DH still burps him half way through, but thats only because he is terrified of DS spitting up. I normally burp him at the end of the feeding, and he does just fine.
