Yes you do but unlike bottle fed babies breast fed ones let you know when they have wind. As they won't always get it xxx

Yes. And it's a myth that they dont get colic. I think they might get it less statistically but they do get it so be sure to wind

Yes. They get windy from crying and sucking their fingers, or a dummy, not just feeding. Amelie was terribly windy when she was younger actually

I wind Olivia after every feed and usually get at least one satisfying burp come up! The expression on her face after she has done it is so funny xx

Oh yeah. If I don't get a few good burps out of him, as soon as I lay him down, he spits up. He still does anyway sometimes.
