Suggest Treatment For Difficulty In Burping A Child

My 11 week old is very hard to wind (burp) whilst feeding. She is formula fed and I have noticed this problem only over last week or so. She is not really in any pain or crying but just refusing her bottle after taking small amounts. I have tried wind drops, but not much help. Around her mouth area is blue so I know it is a wind problem.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Dear parent,
at times its difficult for child to take out burp. You need to be patient. At times it may take 20-30 minutes as well. After one burp if the child refuses to feed then put him in on stomach. that way it is easier for him to take out extra wind easily.
Make sure that his bed is not too fluffy, it should be firm. Child will turn his head for breathing in the most comfortable position.
If this does not help, please check with a pediatrician and change the formula.
