The commonest cause of vomiting at this age is regurgitation due to overfeeding. Firstly,as far as possible,give ONLY breastmilk exclusively for the first 6 months. Secondly,if forced to give top milk feeds,use ONLY formula,NO open milk and NEVER cow's milk. Thirdly,the gap between 2 feeds should be ATLEAST 2 to ideally 2-1/2 hours,don't wake him up for feeds,burp him for atleast 10 mins after every feed and keep the baby elevated by placing a cushion beneath the head and shoulders. Remember,every cry is NOT for milk.
