Hello,
It's just that some infant prefer to sleep more and it's pretty normal. As your infant having no signs of respiratory problems you need not worry.
Burping after every feed is just to avoid any gastric problems. Breast milk is necessary to maintain faster growth. As the age advances your worries will reduce.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
