This is normal for some babies. It is just reflux. Make sure when you feed him/her that s/he is in an upright position and that you do not lay him/her down immediately after feeding. Also, you need to watch what you eat while breastfeeding.

Gassy foods that you might eat, such as broccoli, onions, garlic, milk, and the like will also add to the spitting.

If you are concerned or if the spitting is projectile, you need to bring this to the attention of your pediatrician.

Yes do keep the infant's head elevated at all times and of course you have 2-3 bulb syringes kept in various areas ? Now , you can also burp the infant before you begin feeding and once twice during the feeding and as usual after the feeding .
Good luck... Russell

Both of my choldren did that and it was acid reflux maybe you should talk to you child's doc about that
