Infant puking milk

My LO is going 4 weeks in a few days. We are BF him in the day and FM at night. He’s currently drinking 90ML (LO weighs 4KG) for both types of milk. He often vomits out milk after maybe 30 mins to an hour of drinking the milk despite already burping him. Are we feeding him too much milk? He occasionally pukes out BM but for FM, it’s getting more frequent. Almost every feed. Please advise 🙏 FTM here.

my girl, currently just over 4 wkks old, has the same issue and it was since birth. dr's advice was to burp baby well, especially if bottle fed. she is currently 4.5kg and at times, can drink up to 120ml at each feed and was on 90ml since being discharged from hospital. other than burping, i try not to lay her down too soon after each feed (started with holding her for 10 mins and now shortened to 5 mins before laying her down). i find that it helps when she lays in a tilted bassinet instead.

You can try stagger feeding him. So for example 90ml you can stop to burp him after every 30ml he feeds. So you will need to burp him 2 times in between and 3 times in total. It could be he’s drinking too fast and taking in a lot of air during his feed.
