Newborn: Almost every baby burps after feeding to expel swallowed air. This sounds like healthy behavior. Check with your baby's doctor that she is growing and gaining weight which will be reassuring.

After feeding the baby (breastfeeding to be specific) and you make the baby burp, is that enough to get rid of the gas, because our daughter seems to be struggling with gassing. Is it not or should we consult asap.
