General & Family Physician,  's  Response
The girl might be swallowing air along with food which the parents must observe and train her in eating habits properly.apart from that after eating dinner atleast 1/2 hr the baby should be engaged in some activity because lying down on the bed immediately after eating tummy full also will result in throwing up.she should not be force fed,how much she can eat happily that much should be given and night food should be easily digested one rather than non veg and fried items.see that the girl is not constipated for which giving diluted honey 1 table spoon daily either in milk or separately will be helpful.after all the above measures are not helpful your friend needs to consult a pediatrician who will do appropriate investigations and can suggest treatment.
