General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello
I appreciate your concern for your baby
This could be due to acute gastroenteritis or food poisoning

In my opinion you should consult a paediatric doctor immediately because excessive vomiting and loose stools can leads to dehydration and electrolyte imbalances and baby may refuse to take feed subsequently

meanwhile you can give your baby ORS , fruit juices and salt and sugar mixed in a boiled and cleaned water

Hope this answers your question
best wishes
