Overfeeding?

My LO is 1 months 8 days. Currently I am feeding him with mixed of bm and formula. For formula is 100ml and bm is 110ml. However most of time he is not burping and puke out. Total one day intake is around 850ml or more. I am not sure am I overfeeding him that he can't burp and puke out. In the night, he can stretch until 4 hours until the next feeding Should I feed him lesser like 90ml?

Mine is 1m7d. I used to give half bm half fm and both 90mls. Now most of her feeds are bm as I feel bm is easier for her to digest and she rarely puke out with bm. Now she 95% on bm at 90mls. Yes you may want to decrease first and burp him first before you feed him further. If after burping, he cries for more then you can increase the feed accordingly at 5mls per day? For burping wise, you might want to try leaning you LO further infront while u pat his back if you havent already, do it until you hear his burp. Another way is to place him over ur shoulder, making sure his airway is not block - then pat his back until he burps. They need to burp otherwise they’ll feel bloated and perhaps thats what is leadjng to the 4 hours gap of feeding?
