Treatment for vomiting You may need to feed your baby more frequently to make up for the smaller feedings. You may need to temporarily replace breast milk or formula with an electrolyte solution such as Pedialyte. If this is the case, offer your baby the clear fluid for eight hours after the vomiting has stopped.

Forceful or projectile vomiting, though, or spitting up large amounts of milk after most feedings, can be a sign of a problem. In formula-fed babies, vomiting may happen after overfeeding, or because of an intolerance to formula.

Vomiting. Spitting up and dribbling milk with burps or after feedings is fairly common in newborns. This is because the sphincter muscle between the stomach and the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to stomach) is not as strong as it will eventually become as the baby matures.

About vomiting in children and babies The most common cause of vomiting in children and babies is gastroenteritis. This is an infection of the gut usually caused by a virus or bacteria, which also causes diarrhoea. The symptoms can be unpleasant but your child will usually start to feel better after a few days.

Start by scraping off excess vomit. Then sprinkle baking soda or cornstarch on the stain to soak up as much puke as possible. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before vacuuming. Next, mix one tablespoon of hand dishwashing detergent, like Dawn Liquid Dish Soap, and one tablespoon of white vinegar with two cups of warm water.

Avoid liquids that are acidic (such as orange juice) or caffeinated (such as coffee) or have a lot of carbonation. Do not drink milk until you no longer have diarrhea. You may start eating soft bland foods when you have not vomited for several hours and are able to drink clear liquids without further upset.

Do not eat or drink anything until you have the vomiting under control. Once these liquids are tolerated, try a softer diet with bland foods such as mashed potatoes, rice, pureed fruits, smoothies, fruit nectars, yogurt, cereal with milk or soy if you have problems digesting milk.

Baby vomiting after feeding Once your baby is taking larger volumes of milk, it is very normal for her to vomit, or 'regurgitate', part of the milk around feed time. (However, some babies do not vomit much until they are about 2 to 3 months old.) Your baby may vomit a lot, or only on occasions.

Always burp your baby when feeding time is over. To help prevent the milk from coming back up, keep your baby upright after feeding for 10 to 15 minutes, or longer if your baby spits up or has GERD.

Your child might want bland foods — saltine crackers, toast, mashed potatoes, mild soups — to start out with. If there's no vomiting for 24 hours, slowly return to your child's regular diet. There's no need to leave out milk products unless they seem to be making vomiting or diarrhea worse.
