What Causes Infant To Vomit After First Meal?

My daughter is 8 months old. She is mostly on semi-solids now. She throws up after taking her food. This happens especially in the morning, after her first meal. Doctor said that this might be because of reflex. She was on Junior lanzol for 15 days. The problem reduced slightly after that. But her vomitting in the morning still continues. I am not sure if this is because of blockage in her food pipe. In case there is a blockage what are the solutions available?

Thanks for consulting at Healthcare Magic.
If your baby is vomiting during feeding or immediately after feeding then try feeding baby in small sips rather than big boluses, follow right procedure for preparing formula, position properly while feeding, keep baby upright over shoulder for 10-15 minutes after feeding.
Along with Lansoprazole use antiemetic medications like Domperidone or Ondansetaron for vomitings.
If no relief even after adding antiemetic medications, consult pediatrician who will advice investigations like USG Abdomen, CBC etc. to find out exact cause of such complaints.
