As per your brief history, it appears that it may be an issue of upper respiratory involvement/lower Respiratory as bouts of cough seem to predominate and precede first followed by episodes of vomiting.
The following Possibilities are there, and in either one of them there is a need to get the baby evaluated by your Pediatrician at the earliest convenience in order to make sure this isn't something to worry about:
(1) Simple small regurgitations of feeds, triggering coughs, followed by actual vomiting episodes, (Or if the "Vomiting" episodes have been effortless then to consider it as possible "Regurgitation" episodes and not Vomiting, which is expected to be about 4 to 8 times per day in that age group),
(2) Upper Respiratory infection, developing with cough +/- nasal congestion, without fever episodes as of now, followed by vomiting episodes,
(3) Allergic cough (with or without family history of Allergy), followed by vomiting,
(4) Possibilities of lower Respiratory Infection (developing), rare as there will be almost always fever spikes predominating,
In either case, it is better to have your baby evaluated by clinical examination for any of these issues to be sure of the necessary Solution to be given as such.
Next Steps
To get your Pediatrician's appointment and get the baby assessed clinically and if required the suggestions/ medicines that follow the same.
