Podcast by Dr. Avani Hegde – Hegde Children’s Clinic
Many parents ask, “Is burping necessary after every feed?” In this episode of Tiny Talks, Dr. Avani Hegde from the Best Hospital for Children’s in Banashankari explains why burping plays such an important role in keeping babies comfortable after feeding. Burping helps release swallowed air, reducing fussiness, spit-ups, and discomfort — especially in bottle-fed babies who tend to gulp more air.
In the middle of the discussion, Dr. Avani highlights how understanding proper burping techniques for babies can make feeding smoother and more relaxed. Breastfed babies may swallow less air and may not need to burp after every feed, and that’s perfectly normal. The key is observing your baby’s cues. If they seem uneasy or uncomfortable, gentle burping can help them settle and feel better.
Dr. Avani Hegde also reassures parents that not every baby burps every single time — and that’s okay. Consistency, patience, and knowing your baby’s feeding pattern are what truly matter.
