Baby burping—gas from mouth?

In babies, passing gas from the mouth—burping—is the most common and healthy way to expel air they swallow during feeding. Especially in the first 4-6 months, when newborns' digestive systems are still maturing, babies need to release air after every feeding. When a baby can't burp, that air moves to the intestines and can cause gas cramps (colic). Breastfed babies usually swallow less air; bottle-fed babies swallow more. To help with burping, hold the baby upright and gently pat their back. If the baby can't burp, try breaking up the feeding or changing position. After 6 months, as babies sit up more easily, they naturally burp more easily. As long as there's no spitting up, bluish lips, or discomfort, burping is completely normal.
