Trust yourself
If she was born small, she may be playing catch up. Matthew was 4lbs, 5 oz full term. He had his ups and downs with feeding (he had a feeding tube), but we fed him when he asked. At one point, he put on 2 lbs a week until he caught up. Because of his small size, we were only supposed to feed him 1.5 oz at a time in the beginning, so he was fed very often.
If she is not throwing it back up, is small, and seems content with what you feed her, do it. A little bit burped back is not a big deal. Most of the bottle projectile vomited means too much.
If she gains weight and jumps from 10th to 99th percentile, you might want to cut back. Your peditritian will guide you at your next visit.
