Nursing to sleep

I have a super dumb question. Well at least I feel it's dumb but I've been curious for too long.

When you nurse a baby to sleep and you fall asleep in bed together. How does the baby burp? My little guy doesn't always need to be burped but I worry about the gas bubbles after he's fallen asleep in his bed after I've nursed him to sleep.

Will it just come out naturally? DS will wake up if he really has to but otherwise it's fine. I think I'm over thinking it here.

    Of course! 

    Thanks ladies. Its more for napping, as at night I can feed him and he will pass out and I can transfer him into his bed no problem.

    During the day, not so much! Even moving an inch wakes him.

    I never worried about burping when nursing to sleep.

    We don't generally have to worry about it at night. Very rarely does he need to actually be burped. All I do is incline myself on the opposite elbow and crook his head against my shoulder and burp him, then the taps to his back knock him out. But like I said, that's rare...usually when that happens, he's just fed then starts randomly fussing about 2 minutes after he's finished and already dosed off again which makes it a really big bubble.
