Brief Answer:
It is very common - dont worry

Detailed Answer:
Hi...it is very common. Don't worry.
At this age - crying will induce opening up of new alveoli in the lungs and helps in lung development well.
The reason for crying could be because of gulping of air during feeding.
It is a very normal phenomenon.
Moreover they tend to cry like this until the circadian rhythm is established - as inside the mothers womb - everything is dark and some babies take 6 months to 18 months to get used to this day and night phenomenon.
