I dont get it!

My daughter is 6 weeks old. I feed her every 3-4 hours and she eats 4 oz usually sometimes less. I burp her every 1/2 ounce and sometimes after 1 ounce. Shes been doing great eating and now since last week when I burp her she'll burp and spit up right after and its not chunky it's like runny to where it runs down my arm bc I burp her while shes sitting up instead of on my shoulder sometimes I'll burp her on my shoulder. She did this when she was first born but I just dont understand..doctor says its fine as long as shes gaining weight and peeing/pooping its just frusterating having spit up all over me lol. I feel like im doing something wrong but I know all babies spit up.

Some baby just have a reflux n there is not much u can do. My 1st spit up all the time i was constantly changing his clothes now with my 2nd he is 3months n he doesn't spit up at all thank goodness unless i lay him down after he eats. So as long as he is gaining it should b okay but i know how u feel it does sux

It sounds completely normal. If it gets so bad that she can't keep it down at all, that's when to worry. She will grow out of it eventually

But she also gulphs down the bottle and drinks really fast. Could this be why?
