Why Does My Child Keep Vomiting The Food She Eats?
Question: my child keeps vomiting the food , and the food came out is very sticky in nature
she is not at all suffering from any cold/cough or congestion
I am using Similac Advance followup formula for her , and usually take 4 times in 24 hours of each time 4-5 oz
She normally avoid breakfast(2 idly mashed with tomato rasam) but somehow we can make her eat by playing rhymes between 9 - 10 AM , 12AM she will have 4 oz milk and sleep for 1:30 hours
And her lunch (Rice-Dals powder with mashed veggies and rasam) is from 2-3 which she normally vomits most of the times
what could be the reason for this? i visited doctor many times for the same reason but couldn't get any answer for that. she is not finding any problem when she inspect with stethoscope.
can u suggest me better diet for my 1 year 1 month baby?

I think she is having some gastric issues , while she is pushing gas down or up while she is having food she couldn't control the pressure and vomit the food sometimes.

Never, i see that stool is also sticky in nature and smells very badly.

Brief Answer:
Your kid does not require any medications
Detailed Answer:
Hi... I have calculated the height and weight percentiles of your girl with respect to her age and they are excellent.
I feel that she is vomiting due to 2 reasons -
1. Excessive feeding
2. During belching along with air - she is getting the food also out. This happens when the baby is fed too fast or she feed too fast while gulping air.
But as the height and weight centiles are normal - medications are not recommended please.
I take this opportunity to tell you certain scientific facts and relieve your distress -
1. An active is a well kid even if she/ he is not eating well.
2. Development of a kid is as important as or I would say even more important than growth alone.
3. As the kids grow their interest in food decreases and interest in play activities increases so that they eat small quantity and run away to play. As parents we need to be more patient and feed than less quantity but more aliquots per day.
4. This age rather than the quantity of the food I suggest you concentrate more on the number of times you feed her and also make whatever you feed her calorie dense by adding good amount of ghee to it.
5. I suggest you not to use appetite stimulants on long run as they may cause drowsiness.
