A. You should always burp your baby and hold in the upright position for few minutes before lying him down. If he is asleep after feeding, put him on your shoulders and gently pat on the back few times until he burps. If u think he is spitting up too much try reducing his feed and feed him at frequent intervals. While laying the baby keep him in an elevated position with his head higher than the legs. Laying him on the left side will also help. Don't lay down ur baby to sleep without burping. If the baby doesn't burp after trying for long, keep the baby in an upright position on ur shoulders for few minutes atleast twenty minutes to half an hour. Also while giving formula, take care of the below things. For preparing formula, You should follow the number of scoops of formula and appropriate quantity of water which is specified on the tin. The right consistency should be given so that it doesn't cause any digestive issues. Please follow the mixing instructions as per tin. Also u should only use the same scoop given along with the tin. Level the scoop before adding. If the consistency is not right or there is a overfeed (more than what the baby needs) then the baby may vomit, so take care of those details. You should not heat the formula milk. Also u should give the formula milk within one hour of preparation. Once the baby starts to feed any left over milk should be thrown away
