Brief Answer:
Not at all

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

It is completely normal for an infant to vomit 8 to 10 times a day. What matters is the quantity of the vomitus, if the entire feed is out each time then the baby needs antiemetic medications. If its just part of the ingested milk then there is no need to worry.

Hope, I answered your query. Wish you good health.
Regards
