Hi kelly
welcome to Healthcare Magic
During the first few months a babys gut is not fully developed so he may have problems like constipation.also mothers milk is the best for the baby so he may face minor digestion problems with any other milk.your baby could be vomiting due to gas also .you should try to feed him in a reclined position and try to burp him in the middle of feed and after fed.if problem persists it may point to underlying illness like reflux disorder, so kindly consult your pediatrician
Thanks
