5 month baby spitting up milk

Dear Dr Joe
I have a 5 month baby who was born 3 weeks early and slightly underweight. She's been spitting up almost after every feed. I am wondering if it might be GERD or reflux.
I am giving her 5 feeds of expressed breastmilk and 1 of formula. Around 4-5 oz per feed.
I try to burp her for atleast 10 mins.
The expressed milk is frozen and then thawed but never more than 4 days old.
She takes out milk in either thick curd-like form or sometimes even liquid. It has a pungent smell and is sometimes yellowish.
She also wakes up crying some times and burps or spits up after that.
The problem is worse when she goes out after a feed.
Overall she has been gaining weight fine, and is usually active and cheerful.
She sleeps throughout night, around 7-8 hours and takes 3-4 naps during the day
She rejects drinking directly from the breast, also initially makes a fuss taking the bottle even 3-4 hours after feeding.
Her stools and urine are regular.

I am starting her on solids on the doctors suggestion. Wanted to figure out this spitting up issue before that.
I have a lot of faith in homoepathy and would be grateful for any help on this.
Thank you so much

Just wanted to add:
I've been prescribed SIL 30 and CALC 30 2 pellets each twice daily. Giving these to her since the last 3 days. No notable improvement except spit up is not so yellow.
I am also giving her gripe water for gas.
Should I stop these when starting on Aethusa?
(Sorry forgot this in previous post)

Since you did not get an answer yet- I will tell you
that you do not do any other homeopathic medicines
except what is prescribed.

I noticed that you had addressed your first post to me but Deoshlok who is a professional classical Homeopath who rarely visits the ABC today decided to advice you and as a result I decided to only observe from the sidelines.

I note that you have been prescribed Aethusa 6 by Deoshlok and you have already been giving her:
'I've been prescribed SIL 30 and CALC 30 2 pellets each twice daily. Giving these to her since the last 3 days. No notable improvement except spit up is not so yellow.
I am also giving her gripe water for gas. '

If you do decide to use my therapy please state so and I shall prescribe my default remedy Nat Phos that I have used for hundreds of babies the majority of whom have responded in a few hours.
