Overeating or something worse?

Question

My daughter is about two weeks old and keeps throwing up. It's not after every meal but frequent enough that is scares me. The doctor believes it's just an overactive let down since she is gaining weight and has wet/poopy diapers. She said it could also be another condition that she would need surgery for but does not think this is it since it's not every feeding as well. I am EBF. Does anyone have any experiences with this happening with an overactive letdown?

Answer

I have overactive letdown my son would rarely throw up but he did choke quite often because it was to much for him

Answer

I’m guessing the other condition that would require surgery is pyloric stenosis. If that is it baby would be projectile vomiting essentially across the room, and it would be everything baby ate. Baby also would not be gaining. (Witnessed this first hand with my best friends daughter) 
My son had MSPI and severe silent reflux (and an immature epiglottis) He spit up every feed what looked like everything he ate.None of which required surgery
Did the dr discuss reflux at all? Keep baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding burp frequently. See if any of that helps
