Breastmilk causing spit ups

Anybody's baby spit up a lot more after feeding breastmilk and spit up less when fed formula milk. Just checking if I am the only one facing this. Baby 1mth 16 days and if I feed her purely breastmilk or feed more than 4 times of breastmilk per day, she will become restless during her sleep, cry a lot and spit up more than 10ml of milk. She doesn't spit up or cry as much when we feed her formula milk. I am not sure if it is because there is something wrong with my breastmilk. Currently feeling like a failure and guilty because family is questioning the quality it my breastmilk. Thinking if I should just feed only formula

Hi. Do you freeze your BM? I guess alittle spit up is fine. My baby does spit up too, and now I’m feeling that my baby prefers formula over BM from the way she finishes her milk. She is on BM in the day and FM at night. When I give her BM, she doesn’t finish them, it will take her 2/3 times to finish a 100ml milk. Each time she drink 40/60ml and I will keep the remaining back to the warmer and then give again within an hour. During the night or when we are out, she can finish her FM at one go, or only some leftover. She sometimes still does drink only 40/60ml of FM, cannot finish at one go like BM. But for BM it’s all the time leh I find it.. Please don’t feel like a failure! I just felt sad cuz I pump so hard yet she prefers FM 😅 what you eat does matters but I don’t think that’s the case because I eat very well for my confinement (she is now 2months, and I froze my BM since then).

Update: I've found out that it isn't because baby spit up more or is restless after drinking my breastmilk. She is just hungry more often and hence would cry angrily(because I didn't know she's hungry) , which leads to her spitting up. Now that we feed her every hour, she's fine and drinking well
