There is two conditions one is GER( Gastroesophageal reflux) and other one is GERD ( Gastroesophageal reflux disease).
If child spit out small quantity after every feeds and gaining weight then no need to worry it may be GER.
If child spit out more and prolonged or larged quantities or not gaining weight then need to be examined and if needed few test like sonography and other. It may be GERD or other pathology/disease.
