Brief Answer:
It could be gastroesophageal reflux
Detailed Answer:
Hi....by what you quote I feel that the kid is having GER (gastroesophageal reflux).
Your kid will need -
1. Evaluation and proper physical examination keeping in mind gastro-oesophageal reflux.
2. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics
3. Always make the kid lie down in a propped up position - as in the car seat. The kid should not be sleeping completely flatly.
4. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.
Your kid needs expert gastroenterology consultation.
