Slow down feedings: He may be drinking tooquickly. It should take 20-30 minutes to feed him.In between he should be burped frequently.

Talk to your doctor: These problems happen to a lot of moms and babies. To sort out how big a problem it is and what is the best treatment, talk to your baby's doctor. It's important to figure out how best to feed wihout choking and how to have less spitting up. Both are risks for cough and pneumonia, as well as poor growth.
