Breastfed baby spitting up?

Question

My daughter is now 3 weeks old and since my milk came in at least everyday since she will spit up a few tablespoons of milk sometimes after a feeding. It's not a lot, but enough to makes her onesie all wet or have a nice little puddle on her blanket (a tablespoon or 2). I told the pediatrician who said it is fine as long as it's not projectile or appearing to be the entire feeding. My 1st son did this a little but not until he was several months old and tended to be during growth spurts. 

I just wanted to know if anyone else had/has similar experience with a newborn. She tends to nurse like 8-10 minutes on each breast and I do burp her in between.

ROFL - omg, yes.

my youngest, i used to say she'd breastfeed 10min and give me back 5.  there was no "spitting up" about it, it was an outright pukefest - ALWAYS, i had to change her clothing and often her diaper as well.

she was growing like a tick on a firehose so the doctor wasn't worried although he was rather amazed when he saw it for himself.

my son did that up until he was around 12 months old.  I had to pump breast milk, and put a little infant rice in it to give it some consistency.  he seemed to hold it down a little better that way.  I didn't think he'd ever grow out of it but he finally did..
