relax, a little bit of regurgitation is normal .Are you using proper technique to feed the child? Sit down in comfortable position. Raise one of knees and with elevated head of baby, his hand on your breast ,tickle his cheek and put your nipple in his mouth ,just keep patting his head or fore head. After feeding on one breast, put him on your shoulder to burp .now shift to second side of breast. Always use alternate breast to start.

Meet a pediatrician. Vomiting every time means she needs a check up. What is her weight? Has she lost weight? Is she formula fed?

Vomiting and spitting out are different. Spitting out or regurgitating small amounts of milk are normal.
If vomits after every feed, the whole milk then you will have to get a direct consultation. Maybe an ultrasound and some blood tests to see if there is any other issue
