I never burped my daughter at all, I seem to recall trying a few times and finding it impossible and pointless. I have friends though were it works easily and clearly makes a huge difference to the baby's comfort. Interestingly enough these are not babes that need to woken up to burp and most likely would not sleep until they had been burped. Seems to me like one of those things where women should know to give it a go if they want to and then do what works for them and their baby.
