What Causes Frequent Vomiting In An Infant?

my 8 month old boy has started vomitting 2 weeks (approx) ago. It smells like adults vomit (foul). It is not milky at all. I have kept a food diary and doesnt seem to be a pattern of food. It can appear slimy at times and its as if he eats and his stomach isnt digesting properly??

Hi,
Welcome to the HCM..
Brief... it could be because of food intolerance
Detailed answer...As at 8 months of age most common cause of vomiting and indigestion is food intolerance .Now you have to note down what new food type he is introduced recently or few weeks ago.
Some time food pipe tends to be narrow at this age especialy if infant has got premature delivery ,and needs to be given only small and frequent meals.
For vomiting you can give syp .ondesteron according to weight.And note down wether he is not tolerating cow's milk or rice water or some other new food introduced and follow accordingly.
Hopefully my answer is helpfull.
Regards,
Dr.Maheshwari
