Do you need to burp after breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

Baby has been born, but as a new mother, there are many things I still don't understand very well. Please ask the doctor if you need to burp when breastfeeding.

Doctor's answer:

Whether it is artificial feeding or breastfeeding, burping the baby is necessary. For babies under three months old, the most common occurrence during diaper changes is spitting up. Due to insufficient attention to burping after diaper changes, cases of infants and young children being hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia are on the rise. The author reminds young parents, especially young mothers, that they must pay attention to posture and method when feeding, and must burp the baby after each feeding.
