How will I know that my baby needs to burp?

Here are some signs to look out for to see if baby needs burping: 1) Baby gets squirmy As the baby feeds, or shortly after he is finished, he may begin to squirm. This can include kicking his feet, moving his hips and shaking his arms. Squirming may indicate stomach upset or discomfort and the need to burp. 2) Little Hesitations Sometimes your baby will tell you that she needs to burp by hesitating when it comes time to switch to the other breast or to finish the second half of a bottle. Stop the feeding and try to burp her. A slow down in the speed baby is eating may be another sign. 3) Grimacing Pained facial expressions are a definite sign something is not right. Eating should be pleasurable and satisfying, and if he looks troubled and is grimacing, stop the feeding and see if he needs burping. http://www.livestrong.com/article/198721-signs-a-baby-needs-burping/
