He'll work himself out. This whole breathing on your own and digesting at the same time bullshit is hard at first.
Maybe try to control his feeding portions if it really sounds terribly unhealthy. But I doubt you need to, and you never really should deny an infant food. Plus, feeding him less per sitting means you'd have to feed him even more often.

First I am going to tell you a little horror story.
My twins were three months early and my daughter had bad acid reflux. As a result her throat was quite raw so she refused to eat. They put a hole in her stomach with a tube to outside so you could just feed her through that. Then they tied a not at the top of her stomach so she wouldn't reflux any more. After she healed up she would eat regularly. The only real side effect is that knot takes like twenty or more years in most kids to stretch out and so she can't throw up. When she is sick she has to shit it out so it can be a little miserable. The wife has had parents at the NICU refuse the procedure because they worry about when the kid starts partying ...
She is a very slight rasp to her voice now at 14 when she even gets a slight cold and when congested sounds like Darth Vader breathing. If the kid is still eating well don't worry too much but if they start refusing to eat then notify your pediatrician quite soon.

Yeah our kid has it pretty bad, ever since about one month old, 7 months now. Doctor prescribed Zantac which helped a lot with discomfort but didn't really help with spit up frequency. She said by 6 months the flap fully develops and they slow down.
Still waiting for that to happen. People want to hold him and I basically have to warn everyone that he pukes nonstop.

We didn't have it too bad, sensitive formula fixed most of our woes (post-boob milk).
Bloodwork came back on my son, all normal. Still working on getting in to see a shrink. Best luck we've had this last week keeping him home is ignoring the hitting as soon as he doesn't get his way or thinks he's in trouble for something, and moving him onto something else, usually physically disrupting it with hugs or tickles or something. Feels like reinforcing behavior to me, but it's that or the predictable 20-60 minutes of incoherent screaming we've had for months. There have been incidents where we tell him to not hit... and it feels like the attention drives it. Earlier he did it and we completely ignored it (wasn't hitting anyone, nor in danger of hurting himself) and he was over it in a few seconds. When he hits or something it presses my buttons, makes me want to go nuclear, throw him in his room and not let him out until he's gotten over it. Just low tolerance for that kind of thing. Instead mom has gotten him through it in a minute or so on more than one occasion and he's fine.
Too bad none of that will fly at school.
Part of what feeds this at home I think is we can't get him to nap like he does at school so in the evening's he's on a hair trigger since he's tired.

Oh my lord. We've apparently hit the 8-10 month sleep regression phase. It is brutal. Every night the last 7 or 8 nights he has woken up 2-3 times per night and takes up to an hour each time to get back to sleep. 45 minutes would be quick right now. Apparently this can last 3-6 weeks. If it lasts 6 weeks I'm going to go insane. ugh

Our kid has started waking up once or twice a night too, generally at 12 and then 3. It's pretty shitty when the wife has to work and I have him myself, it basically guarantees I feel like shit the next day.
Also he's started grabbing his junk. Thankfully I caught him before he swiped his hand through shit.
Speaking of shit, he had a solid log the other day and it was weird, like 4 inches long and pretty thick. It was a struggle to get out, but after that he shit 8 times in 48 hours, like it was an ass-cork. He shits once a day normally.

Also it smelled TERRIBLE

This morning Bubba had a massive load of spackle shit. Plastered all over the entirety of his ass. Took forever to scrape it off. And it fucking stank like low tide had diarrhea. I can still smell it 5 hours later. Goddamn baby shit!!

rub vaseline on his ass. Will make clean up much easier until the sticky shits go away.

i watched my ladyfriend's 2-year-old the other night. couldn't get him to eat anything for dinner other than doritos. kid sorta pigged out on them but i figured eh, he almost never eats junk food (his mom feeds him really well) so i figured one night of doritos wouldn't do much harm. next morning he was in the other room watching charlie brown, and he lets out this blood curdling scream followed by tears. took us a minute to figure out what happened... he's sort of a clumsy kid so he falls a lot... but when i picked him up i instantly smelled poop. was a rock hard log like 3 inches long. must have been hell to pass. he called it an "owie poopoo".

our 2.4 year old has had a couple of those lately... basically because we have a 1 month old and people won't stop buying us/bringing us dinner and we have a bunch of gift cards to restaurants. Not a bad problem to have admittedly but we have been eating like shit so that's one way she suffers.
I swear one of them was the size of a small campbells soup can. No idea how that thing fit out her butthole.

He had another shit today while playing in his exersaucer that I could see coming. He hunched over and grunted then let rip a very loud SPLORCH! shit. It like all came out at once. The thing barely stayed in his diaper. When I took it off it was at the very top. So nasty. lol

So after some reading on this 8-10 month sleep regression bullshit the main suggestion is to ditch one of his naps during the day.
Start with something like this:
7:00am - wake-up
9:30am-11:00am - nap 1
1:45pm-3:15pm - nap 2
6:15pm - bedtime
and should eventually look like this:
7:00am - wake-up
10:00am-11:30am - nap 1
3:00pm-4:00pm - nap 2
7:30pm - bedtime
He passed out around 6'ish with a bottle still in his mouth. He woke up around 9 to eat and then he slept till 2'ish for a quick change. Then got up at 5:30. Definitely an improvement over the last week.

Our kid used to take 2 naps but now we're lucky if he goes down for one.
Sometimes my wife will be stupid and let him take a nap at like 6:00 and then leave for work. It's frustrating because then he isn't going to bed until like 10 or 11pm
