If your baby is vomiting occasionally but is otherwise content, happy, growing well and gaining weight according to the child health growth charts and is breastfeeding as per usual then the vomit you’re seeing is likely nothing to be concerned about.

The sphincter or band at the top of the stomach is really loose in babies and it doesn’t take much for them to posit after feeds.

This normally happens when you pick them up from breastfeeding and the movement causes any excess milk to spill over and come out! Oops! After all, it can be scary to see your baby vomit! Also, it can look like a lot of vomit for such a small baby too! So how do you know what is normal?įirstly, nearly all babies will “posit.” This is where they spit up a bit of excess milk. This is a really common question from many parents.
