Sucking fingers is a normal reflex in small babies. It does not mean that they are hungry. Spitting out milk shows that the mother has enough milk and the baby is taking in more than she can retain in her tummy.
Health Tips
If the baby's weight gain is normal do not worry.

Keeping fingers in mouth, then vomiting of feeds is a common behaviour in children. If your baby is gaining weight then no worries. But we need to engage the baby with playing , talking to her and making her more comfortable.
