When do you stop burping??

At what age can you stop burping after a feeding? I have heard different views from different people so any suggestions??

With Ds1 someone told me when they can sit up by themselves then they can burp by themselves too.

Ds2 sometimes burps by himself but hes still sitting supported.

It depends on the baby. If they tend to spit up a lot, they should be burped.

If J falls asleep during his bottle, I don't even bother to burp him. He burps a lot on his own now. Especially when he's on his belly.

I'm glad you asked this I was wondering too!

ETA: spelling.

In my past experience, it's when they're sitting up and/or holding their own bottle because then they can take it out when they need to take a quick break or a breath. It's also around that time that they gain the ability to burp on their own. Right now, he holds his bottle about 2/3 of the time and burps and farts as soon as he sits up afterwards. I still burp him when I've been holding his bottle and I make sure he gets a few good burps after his last bottle before bed, but for the most part, he burps on his own and we haven't had any gas problems lately.
