The more it feed, the more breast milk you will produce. So don't give up on feeding.
You can give formula milk in an open cup or pallada also.
If burping and tummy time are not practiced, the air can cause a lot of flatus passage. But it is normal as golden such in air as they feed.
For any queries, book an online consultation with me.

Farting indicates that baby is swallowing lot of air while bottle feeding hence always give powder milk in satori with spoon. It'll improve breast feeding also.

Passing gas is normal. Nothing to be done for that.
For burping, can try but if child is uncomfortable then can avoid it too.
