Hi I guess only small amounts he is spitting out
Burp him well after feeds
Don’t make him lie down until he burps
Next Steps
If baby is getting all the milk out or crying continuously it’s time to visit pediatrician
Health Tips
Unless child is feeding well, gaining weight and passing urine 5-6 times a day nothing to worry

It is normal but dangerous. Try to burp child well so that baby does not throw up . Make the child sleep in propped up position. Don’t over feed baby.
Next Steps
In case the child has milk in the nose, immediately clean the nose and put child in a right lateral position .
Health Tips
If child is not gaining weight due to these vomitings , consult doc
