Is it reflux? 6 mo old baby 'possetting' hours after feed

Hi.
My baby has always been a 'possetty' baby, requiring big burps after feeds to settle. Over time he has also been sicking up a bit about an hour after a feed. This seems to be getting more frequent (once or twice a day) plus today he sicked up a bit (a fair amount but not a whole feed) 3 hours after a feed! (I thought BM was totally digested after 2 1/2 hours). It doesn't seem to be causing him suffering but I'm sure it can't be nice! Also, the last 3 out of 4 times I have given him calpol he has brought back up an entire feed's worth (so I don't give him anything when he is poorly now). He still needs winding after each milk feed and often mid way through.
I have started him on solids (blw) at 24 weeks and he is 25 1/2 weeks, however I don't think this has had that much affect (well, not at this end, the other maybe! )
Is this normal or not?

Have only experienced one reflux baby and she was in terrible pain with it and screamed 24/7, haven't a clue whether it's the norm or not but there was no doubt whatsoever that that was reflux. Hopefully this will bump for you so someone with more knowledge can pick it up!
Do you wind before a feed as well as halfway through and at end? I had to with ds2 as she was always sick otherwise.
