Hi,
I understand your concern.
Self induced vomitting is not likely to cause any harm to baby , but it is likely to cause side effects like hoarse voice/ throat inflammation/ acid reflux & dental cavities.
It's better to try for good digestion/ avoid vomiting & nausea by managing diet plan ( small/ frequent feeds with less spicy food. )& proper medication with doctor's advise.( doxinate plus at bed time/ digestive enzymes )
Thanks.
