It is normal.
1) If you are bottle feeding, see that nipple is atleast 80 percent filled with milk(otherwise, baby is gonna swallow lots of air) and consult for increasing breast milk so that top feeds can be minimized.
2) burp for atleast 20 mins post feeding
3) give some tummy time
4) infantile colic massages (I love you massage, bicycling etc) can be done.
5) if associated with abdominal distention and if the baby is stretching a lot, consult your pediatrician for considering a probiotic(L. Reuteri)
