Melissa:  How about weaning her down to one breast per feeding?  She might
have to pump or hand express temporarily (emphasis on temporarily).  Also
let her know the baby will need and handle more milk as it grows, and that
his need will start to catch up to her supply if she lets it.

Has she tried reclining position?  (i.e. on her back, leaning back as in a
Lazy Boy-type reclining chair)

 Finally, let her know that switching to formula probably won't stop the
spitting up, as generally all babies do some spitting up, but that it will
change the character of what comes up to a smelly, staining, mess.  (Not to
mention what comes out the other end...)
