He's actually burping and when I lay him down it sounds like more of a long drawn out burp/release of air, that he'll repeat eventually may get hiccups or just choke needing more assistance.

? sorry, but people can actually mistake hiccups with burps? Oh my..

I heard about breastfeeding = little to no burping, though it would be scary not to burp mine so I guess bottle or breast, it goes both ways depending...

I have to say the last couple days of pumping the letdown and giving him mylicon drops, he's been a lot better! Thank you for all the replies, it's helped us a lot!

@chas3580 that is full of bull. You always have to burp babies. Breastfed just as well as bottle ?

Mylicon drops have worked wonders for us. I'm mostly bottle feeding expressed milk because she gets too much foremilk when I breastfeed due to an oversupply.

I was told it's not good to burn a breastfed baby that it actually hurts them that your only suppose to burp them if they are given a bottle

One other thing might be that he's not totally latching right and taking in air. If his tongue doesn't make a perfect funnel under your nipple then he takes in air. Try making sure he's not "starving" when you start feeding so he not like ravenous and gulping a ton of extra air.

Is he actually burping or does he have the Hiccups? I know my son can have the hiccups and sometimes they sound like a little burp at the end. Try some Gripe water.

Oh he gets mad :( I hate it! And I feel like i'm teaching him to cry because i'll put him back on the boob after i'm done pumping the letdown! Going to look for the gas drops today~Btw I tried pumping first before feeding him and it never activated the letdown so I think i'm stuck with feeding and pulling him off in time, that or my pump sucks. Extra measures.. oh boy!

I had issues with my 2nd and a heavy let down. Popping them off when letdown starts really helps. Hopefully it doesn't make baby mad. This time around I pump 1st thing in the morning and emptying my breasts 1st thing before I feed seems to have helped with the crazy let down some and I have a freezer stash.

I have a crazy fast let down as well... Poor little guy is drowning in all my milk ? I started using Little Remedies infant gas drops to help him after feeds at night and it seems to be helping a bit... Maybe look into that?

Yay @lynn seems like only baby triggers the letdown and not the pump hah

If you can, let the baby nurse until it triggers your letdown and then remove the baby from your breast for just a bit and let the milk flow, lol. Once the craziness stops you can put baby right back to the breast. I unfortunately also have this and it causes my poor little guy to have really bad gas and foamy poop ? but we've figured a way around it and now he's much better.

My son was really gassy at 1st too. My milk in my right breast comes out fast and from multiple holes from being pierced. It's gotten better though

I did some research into it and come to find I have overactive letdown.. Milk coming out too fast. ?

My 3rd had issues with spitting up horribly. She has a lip tie that I later learned was causing her not to get a good seal when latched and she was swallowing a bunch of air.

Breastfeeding

If you bottle feeding maybe try another bottle or make sure you have the right size nipple he may be getting to much air. If your breastfeeding make sure his latched correctly. Also you may have to stop him and burp him throughout the feeding and I'd keep him elevated in your arms for about 20 mins after eating before putting him down. That will help the food settle and decrease spit up

Are you breast feeding or bottle feeding?
