Doctor: It is common problem in children of this age group to vomit,  as there is transition of food from liquid consistency to solid,  Generally once child completes 6 months,  weaning is started with complimentary foods. Initially it should be semi solid consistency and gradually increase the consistency depending on tolerance or palatability. If child develops vomiting after having a particular food,  just withhold that food temporarily, continue with previous food which child was tolerating.  Presently Start your child with an anti emetic medication domstal drops / Ondem Syrup orally according to baby weight.  Withhold oral intake till 15 - 20 minutes of giving medication.  If still not controlled better to consult your Paediatrician for  an Injection. Which will solve the problem
