It's regurgitation of milk common in overfeeding don't feed him frequently and for long time.
Keep a gap of 1.5 to 2hour gap between feeding
Burp well after completing the feed

As baby is newborn its always better to consult directly. Reflux is a common problem. Positioning is the key for that. Medicines are given only if wt gain is affected. Many things need to be checked for proper treatment. So meet your pediatrician there.
