Concerns About Infant's Feeding Behavior
I am writing to seek your advice regarding my one-month-old daughter's feeding behavior. She is currently breastfed and bottle-fed, and recently, we've noticed some concerning patterns.
Occasionally, after she drinks milk from the bottle, she experiences burping, and about an hour later, she spits up milk when we lay her down to sleep. We're wondering if this could be due to overfeeding. We make sure to keep her upright on our chest after feeding and help her burp multiple times during and after feeding sessions.
Could you please provide some insights into what might be causing this behavior and any recommendations on how we can address it?
Thank you in advance for your guidance

Regurgitation (spitting) is common at this age. Gets better as baby grows
Next Steps
Continue burping well during and after feeds. Keep head end elevated while she's lying down
Health Tips
If still continuing, reduce amount of feed each feed and feed every 2hrs. Check urine output and weight gain

Small babies tend to have gastroesophageal reflux. While bottle feeding they swallow more air and that can add to minor regurgitation episodes. Try to position baby on a pillow with head up for 15-20minutes, BUT ONLY UNDER SUPERVISION.
Health Tips
Check weight. If weight gain is adequate nothing to worry.
