My baby doesn't burp during night feedings because she's sleepy. Will not burping at night cause gas pain in the morning?

It's very common for babies not to burp during night feedings because they're sleepy. Here's something reassuring: during night feedings, babies usually swallow much less air than during the day because they suck more calmly and their feeding technique is more settled. So nighttime burping is not absolutely necessary.
If your baby falls asleep at the breast or bottle, you can gently place her in her crib. If she seems fussy or uncomfortable after waking, then try holding her upright for a couple of minutes and gently massage her back. But putting her down without burping doesn't automatically mean she'll have gas pain in the morning—in fact, most babies sleep through the night just fine after a night feeding without burping.
If your baby wakes up fussy in the morning, is pulling her legs up to her belly, or crying when she wakes, talk to your pediatrician; this could suggest reflux or a different digestive sensitivity. But not burping after a night feeding alone won't cause morning gas.
