Vomiting of a 4 month old baby
My baby is 4 months old . In the afternoon she was taking her regular feed. After feeding she properly burped, after that she vomited the milk twice the quantity she drank before. I am really worried whether this is normal or not.
As she never vomited this much as before.
Please reply.
What could be the cause of the same?

Do not worry. This is normal. Try burping the baby well after every feed, if there is no burp try keeping the baby in upright position for sometime. Try not over feeding the baby at a time and proper positioning while feeding is important.

Greetings
Sudden large-volume vomiting can happen due to overfeeding, swallowing excess air, or mild digestive reflux.
Vomited liquid often spreads out and appears to be much more than the actual volume the baby consumed.
However, if it was unusually forceful or happens again, it could be a sign of a viral illness or sensitivity.
Monitor your baby closely for signs of dehydration, such as having fewer wet diapers or being unusually lethargic.
Watch out for other red flags like a fever, persistent crying, diarrhea, or blood in the vomit.
