'Upright feeding position' for windy baby??

DD is 10 weeks old and it's a real struggle to get her back to sleep after her 4.30am feed - I think she gulps down too much milk too quickly (my boobs are really full at this time) and despite all the burping, jiggling and cuddles she seems too uncomfortable to go back to sleep unless she's upright in my arms. I can hear her tummy gurgling - she's quite windy anyway and dosed up on Infacol which helps for her other feeds.
Someone suggested trying an upright feeding position but I don't know quite where to start. Any advice would be gratefully appreciated - I'd love to start my day a bit later than 4.30am!!

It's the same as feeding lying down, if you've got the hang of that, but with you sat up on about 4 pillows? It really helped my colicky ds.

Some photos here on Kellymom; the first one is the one we would do, propped up in bed.
