Burp after every feed. Continue breastfeeding. This normally happens when the burping is not done.
Baby may be having GER like issues. See if the milk has been changed recently, or large volume feeds are being given to the baby via bottle.
Try to breastfeed as much as possible and burping after every feed. If the baby is not on breastfeeds, try katori feeds with frequent burping.
