Yes it is a most otherwise they will have the gas trapped inside . Need to burp them till they are about 4 or 5 months old or when they can sit upright. Some babies may need to burp even longer if they often get gassy. But usually they can burp on their own once they can sit up. If baby drinks too fast she will also take in a lot of air. You may need to burp her at intervals throughout the feed. To relieve bloatedness can apply Ruyi oil or give rid wind or massage the tummy in circular motion
