try laying her over your knees face down and pat her back.
Or keep her upright over your shoulder and rub her tummy in an anti clockwise direction to release the gas.
I also used 'Infacol' drops at the beginning of the feed and it helps to make one big bubble they can burp out. Some babies outgrow burping after a while. Farts also count as a 'burp' after a feed too.
Breastfeeding results in a lesser need for burping than bottle fed so that might be it too.

My daughter would do the same and then I was given some sound advise from a professional....For medical intervention try Infacol drops just before feeding...works in a way that it links all the air pockets in the tummy together and makes the gas retract and burp easier. After 5 mins trying to burp give up...it aint coming up if it hasn't in that time frame, If bub is still grizzly when stopped then change positions and give another 2mins and problem solve the situation that way.

Relax.
Just put her on yourself, with face on shoulder.
gently pat the back. Or just massage down to up.
Be patient.
An upright position is best.
She will burp. And start. Maybe just the airlock not coming up.
Also do feed her in a almost sitting position.
Consult the doc.

Right before you feed her give her Mylicon Gas Drops and see if that helps. Or try different positions to burp her.

Supporting the baby's head and neck, fairly quickly tip her upside down and back 3 times. I leave my guy sitting on my lap facing me at the edge of my knees and then just tilt him back, doesn't have to go completely upside down but you want the head to go below butt level. If you find this makes her get sick, don't continue but it works for my guy by just sloshing things around and moving the food off the gas bubbles so they can come out. He wasn't too happy when we first started this but now he thinks it's fun!

I read in a magazine that when a baby has gas that you can try moving their legs in a circular motion. You lay them on their back and move their legs like they're riding a bike. Maybe this will work for her.
