I have a baby and i feed hey formula and she spits it up why is that?
Answer:
Love how everyone immediately jumped to reflux. Not necessarily so, try switching to a soy formula. Some babies are allergic to the milk in regular formula. So soy is the only kind they can handle. A little spit up is normal. However projectile across the room is not. If the soy doesn't work, then you may need to take her to her pediatrician to see if it is reflux at that point. but try some other things first to rule them out. Hope this helps you a bit.
Try mothers breast milk.
acid reflux disease
That is normal for baby's to spit up. My second child had reflux! It was alot more than just spit up!! LOL, it was almost all the formula every time he drank it. And it may be the formula making them do that. U might have to switch. Ask ur dr.
if she's spitting up her milk try sitting her up for at least fifteen minutes after a feeding. letting gravity and digestion take affect. if she still spits up after that try thinning out her formula a little or not such big portions of food at once. if she spits up a lot let her sleep in a bassinet, she may choke on her spit while you're not near her to help. good luck.
Your baby may have reflux!! My little boy had that and it freaked me out!! Dr. said to keep him sitting up after feeding to help with it and it sure helped out, either that or your baby is lacto intolerance. Take your baby to see the Dr.
There could many reasons why your baby spits up, Your baby could have reflux, allergic reaction or it is too hard for your baby's stomach. I hope you find out, it is no fun for you or your baby.

Why does my baby spit up? (found on STORKNET)
Some babies, no matter what kind of bottle you use, no matter which formula you feed, are just prone to spit up. Almost all babies will outgrow this before their first birthday.
There are a few things you can do to help prevent or reduce spitting up.
Try to make feeding times as quiet and relaxed as possible. The fewer interruptions, the less chance your baby will gulp more air. Burp your baby every 2 to 3 ounces if bottle feeding, every 3 to 5 minutes if breastfeeding.
Never feed a baby while s/he is lying down, and always try and keep baby upright immediately after feedings for at least 20 minutes, either in your arms or in an infant seat.
Never jostle baby around immediately after a feeding. This may cause their tiny stomachs to revolt, and you to be wearing a fountain of baby puke.
Try and feed your baby s/he becomes frantically hungry - the more s/he cries, the more air they will swallow, causing a pocket of gas under the formula or breast milk, which will eventually come spewing out.
Keep the bottle nipple filled with liquid during the entire feeding - this also cuts down on air consumption.
Don't overfeed your baby. If s/he doesn't finish a bottle, avoid the temptation to urge them to finish. They will know when they're full and if you overfeed, the extra liquid will just come back up.
It may also be helpful to try and burp your baby before feeding the bottle. This will eliminate any air pockets in the tummy and may reduce the spit-ups.
When all else fails, if your baby is just a spitter, always have a burp cloth (or even a towel) nearby to clean up the messes. Keep a bib on your baby at all times to protect those cute outfits, and even place a blanket down under the baby to protect your carpets. Try and clean up any spit-up as soon as possible to avoid staining.

Why does my baby spit up so much?
Suzanne Berman, M.D.
Nearly all babies spit up to some degree. Occasionally, though, a baby seems to vomit so much that parents wonder if something is wrong.
Persistent spitting up in babies is called reflux (also called gastroesophageal reflux or GER.) Reflux is never concerning in an otherwise normal baby who is growing and developing normally. It will sometimes seem that a baby vomits more than he eats, and may seem amazing that he grows or gains weight at all! These "happy spitters" do quite well, and are chubby more often than scrawny. Most show significant improvement by 6 months of age, and almost all are better by their first birthday.
In our experience, most "spitty babies" are formula fed. This is because formula flows much faster from a bottle than does human milk from the breast. It's a lot easier to "overeat" when the baby doesn't have to work to get the milk. Babies also don't "know when to say when." An infant's stomach is not much bigger than his two fists together, so trying to stuff 4 ounces down in a 2 ounce stomach tends to result in vomiting. The baby will then be hungry again, causing a second rapid feeding (and often more vomiting.)
Reflux can be very smelly. Many parents are concerned when they see nasty-smelling curdled milk in their child's vomit, but this is what Reflux can indeed be messy, but it's not harmful to an otherwise normal baby. If reflux bothers you, here are some things you can do to help it:
Feed your baby in the upright position.
Offer your baby smaller feedings that are more frequent. This is the single biggest change you can make to help reduce spitting up. For example, most one month olds spit up if they take 4 oz at a time every four hours. The same baby will probably be much less "spitty" with 2 oz every two hours - which is still the same total amount of milk in a 24 hour period. Most newborns can only take an ounce or two at a time; most four-month-olds get "spitty" beyond 4 ounces at a time.
Elevate the head of your baby's bassinet or crib at an angle of about 15 degrees. This gets gravity on your side. (Let your baby lie flat or stand up; a seated position such as in a car seat can actually cause more reflux.)
Burp your baby well in the middle of and after feedings. "Barracuda babies" who ravenously take a complete feeding in 10 minutes swallow lots of air with their milk.
Try a different type of bottle. There are new "airless" bottles that reduce the amount of air babies swallow with feedings, available at some of our local pharmacies. These bottles also result in slower milk flow, helping infants to feed slower overall.
What if these things don't work?
Sometimes we can recommend other changes if reflux persists, like prescription medication or thickening the baby's formula. Let us know if the above suggestions don't work. Vomiting is rarely caused by formula intolerance, and so we really don't recommend changing formulas simply for persistent spitting up.
When is spitting up worrisome?
Extremely forceful ("projectile") vomiting. Although seen in many normal children, it can be the sign of severe blockage if it happens more than once.
Dehydration, as seen by decreased saliva, tears, and urine (see our information sheet on dehydration.)
Weight loss or minimal weight gain in a child under the age of 1. Ask us if you are concerned about your baby's weight gain.
Peculiar vomit, containing bile (bright green) or blood (red or brown.)
Associated with other symptoms which are themselves concerning, like severe belly pain or distension, wheezing, profuse diarrhea, and/or severe skin rashes. These should be reported to your doctor immediately.
