Its normal for the age, just keep monitoring him for his development and compare with the same age kid for an idea

You need to do burping after the feeding for at least 15 minutes your baby problem is because of the gases

Is he cooing, making sounds? Is he holding head when in sitting position or pulled to sit? Is he holding a rattle placed in hand? Is he batting at objects ie swinging his arms slapping objects?
Next Steps
Continue putting him on tummy for 5mts but frequently. Place toys around.
Health Tips
If he's swallowing milk, drooling can be ignored
