I Have 4month Old Baby. Last 2days After Every Feeding..
Brief Answer:
Possibly due to improper burping.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for using the Ask a Doctor service.
Let me first ask whether the baby is exclusively breast fed or whether formula feeds are being given. Formula feeds can be hard to digest and can cause the child to throw up. In such a case switching back to breast milk should provide relief. Also mention if there has been a recent change in the dietary habit (or contents) of the baby. That can lead to such a presentation. You should burp the baby for at least 15-20 mins after each feed. All you need to do is to hold the baby head end elevated for this duration. The extra air taken causes distention and hence colics. Proper burping will ensure its escape and the milk will not regurgitate back from the stomach to the food pipe, thus providing relief.
Check if the child has nasal block. Nasal block may cause the child to vomit out the feed. In such a case, application of saline nasal drops should ease the problem.
Let me know if you have further queries.

Brief Answer:
Try to shift back to exclusive breastfeeding
Detailed Answer:
It seems that the change of formula is the offending agent.
Let me emphasize the fact that breast milk is the best possible milk for a baby and there can be no alternatives for the same.
Most formula kinds of milk are difficult to digest. Moreover, they make the child more prone to complications and infections.
Mother's breast milk is produced on the demand of the baby. Hungrier the baby, more vigorous is the suck. More is the suck, more is the amount of breast milk produced.
Giving formula automatically reduces the demand of the baby and thereby the production of breast milk.
All you need to do is to switch back to exclusive breastfeeding and the production will increase automatically. All you need to do is to monitor the urine output. If the frequency is more than 6 times in 24 hours, you would know that the amount of feeding is adequate.
If the amount of passage of urine is less or if the child is lethargic you would need to take the child to a doctor without delay.
