Babies usually regurgitate small quantity of feeds occasionally. There seems to be no cause for concern. Does she bring up milk after every feeds ?
I would require additional information for me to be able to assist you further

4. Is she on exclusive breast feeding or also on top feeds ? If on breast feeding, is the feed adequate?
5. Is there any diaper rash ?
Awaiting your response

Brief Answer:
It is normal in formula feed babies
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Dear Ms XXXXX
She could be bringing up milk due to
1. Regurgitation
2. Feed allergy
Occasionally bringing up milk is acceptable. If possible let the baby be on exclusive breast feeding
If the passage of stools is regular and not hard there is no cause of concern. Babies who are on formula feeds usually strain while passing stools. I hope she is putting on weight adequately
Wishing you a happy motherhood
