Brief Answer:
Possibility of Gastroesophageal reflux

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
From the description of bit of frothy white stuff vomiting it appears that vomiting is non bilious. In the absence of other symptom like Urinary or other associated gastrointestinal complaint it's likely to be Gastroesophageal reflux.
I hope there is no distension of abdomen and baby is also passing stools regularly.
I would suggest the following which will definitely help
1. Avoid putting the baby to sleep immediately after feeds
2. Avoid spicy and oily food
3. Capsule Lansoprozole will be helpful: it suppresses gastric acid secretion. Along with this addition of Domperidone which increases gastric motility will be helpful.
4. Propped up position while sleeping will be helpful.
In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Take care

Detailed Answer:
Greetings
I have rightly got his age in years only. Gastroesophageal reflux along with gastritis could occur at any age.
If the vomiting does not respond to the medication, baby will require Ultrasound of abdomen to rule out other causes like Malrotation especially if the vomiting is bilious.
Do write to me if you need any further assistance
Wishing your baby a speedy recovery
