Does this only happen when she is bottle-fed? How about direct latching? It is common for babies to have reflux or to spit up after a feed. To minimize such episodes, you can try the following: Feed baby in a more upright position (head should be higher than knee); Avoid active play immediately after a feeding; Avoid overfeeding; Burp baby after each feeding. A couple of my friends tried cup feeding or using a syringe when baby doesn't take to bottle.

I think you can try burping her after the feeding. Could be the flow of the milk, or try feeding a little less in case she is overfed.
