Burping helps to let go the air swallowed during feeding.This often happens if the child takes feed very rapidly.
So if your child does not burp it is OK.

Breastfeeding ,in proper compertable sitting position, with fully awakened baby no chance of swallowing air.
But always do the burping atleast 5 minute after breastfeeding...don't worry even after doing ,burp won't come...
