Once in a day or multiple times small amount curdled milk is completely normal if the baby is gaining weight..Can be secondary to reflux or Inadequate burping..U can give proper burp for 15 to 20min and can use a wedge pillow ..Avoid making the baby lie down immediately after food..If too much vomiting give small feeds more frequently..
1.Vomiting could be due to reflux or Over feeding
2.Babys feed depends on individual demand can vary in general for 45 days from 90 to 120ml each feed every 2nd or 3rd hrly
