Hi,
My daughter is 6 month 2 weeks old. I started solids from 1st May. She breast feed plus solids.
She first vomit the whole breast milk at 7 pm.
Then when I feed her around 10 pm , she vomited the entire feed.
Then I given Vivadase drop 1 ml around 11 pm.
After that I breastfeed her for 2-3 mins every hour.
Again she vomited at 3 am.
I continued breastfeeding for 2-3 mins every hour.
At 1 pm I again gave 1 ml Vivadase drop and after giving the drop she vomited.
Then waited for 40 mins around and given Domways .30 ml at 2 pm.
After 20 mins breastfeeding her for 4-5 mins.
And continued feeding every hour.
She is very sleepy now.
Please advise.
Can I give Domways after 6 hour i.e. 8 pm.
How often should I breastfeed her.
The above medication is given by my family doctor.
Should I visit pediatrician. To visit the same I have to travel 70 km, that's why seeking helping her.

Vomiting at this age is normal and should not affect urine output (7 or more times a day) and weight gain.
Next Steps
No medication is usually required. Unnecessary high dose of medicine (domways in this case) will make the child drowsy
Health Tips
Stop medicines. Stop solids for 1 to 2 days. Burp baby after every feed and if vomiting persists, in between feed also. Feed 10mts every 2hrs, not before. If loose stools start, can give medicines, ors (correct doses depending on weight)
