Hi my baby does this the first month was a nightmare every feed she was sick at least half her bottle but she was putting on weight. I took her to the doctor and he said that she had a refux problem. Basically the digestive system doesn't start to mature until 3 months so the little valve in her stomach wasn't working properly to keep her food down. He prescribed ENFAMIL AR which is a complete formula that thickens in the stomach making it easier for her to keep down. She is now two months and the sickness has improved dramatically the thickening formula really helps, it doesn't work everytime but I would say she keeps 2 out of 3 feeds down with only a tiny bit of possiting. Also try feeding her in a sat up position and keeping her sat up for 30 mins after a feed. Try not to worry, I was worried sick about my little girl but the doctor assured me that she would grow out of it. Good Luck!
