Babies suck on breastmilk or bottle milk too quickly for air and milk to go into the baby's stomach.
Incorrect posture of breast-feeding (especially bottle-feeding) also makes the baby swallow a lot of air.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for the first few months to often notice that the baby is uncomfortable with gas after eating.

Carrying is one of the ways to burp a baby. Let the baby lie parallel along the mother's body, her head resting on the mother's shoulder. One hand supports the baby's head and neck. The other hand performs a burp pat.
