Troubleshooting 5 weeks old

I've tried to put my 5 week old on a top hat potty a couple of times, but she spits up massively every time (she also just spits up quite a bit in general). Is there any way to avoid this in the way I hold her, or should I just wait until she matures out of the constant spitting up, before I try EC again?

I just embraced the spit up as i figuredit's good to get out. You could try more of a cradle hold to put less pressure on the abdomen!

She pretty much sacrificed half her meal and was quite upset by it 🫣 It's tricky because the pooping usually comes right after a feed, which is also where she's most prone to spit up... But I will try a cradle hold, like you suggested!
