A. It sounds like your son may be experiencing infant reflux or gastroesophageal reflux (GER), which is common in babies and usually resolves on its own as the baby grows. Here’s what you should know: Possible Reasons for Vomiting: 1. Infant Reflux: This occurs when stomach contents come back up into the esophagus. Most babies outgrow reflux by 12-18 months. 2. Overfeeding: If your baby is drinking more milk than his stomach can handle, it can lead to vomiting. 3. Immature Digestive System: At 7 months, your baby’s digestive system is still developing, and this may cause some vomiting. What You Can Do: 1. Feed Smaller Amounts: If you’re bottle-feeding or breastfeeding, try giving smaller, more frequent feedings. 2. Keep Upright After Feeding: Hold your baby upright for 20-30 minutes after feeding to help the milk stay down. 3. Burp Often: Burp your baby halfway through feeding and at the end to release any trapped air. 4. Elevate Head During Sleep: Slightly elevating the head of your baby's crib or sleeping surface may reduce vomiting after feeding (but ensure the baby’s sleeping environment is safe). When to Be Concerned: If your baby is not gaining weight. If vomiting is projectile or occurs with force. If your baby seems in pain during or after vomiting. If you notice blood or green bile in the vomit. If these signs appear, or if you feel the vomiting is not improving, a follow-up with your pediatrician or possibly a pediatric gastroenterologist may be necessary. In many cases, vomiting from reflux tends to improve as the baby starts sitting up, eating solids, and their digestive system matures. If your baby is gaining weight and seems otherwise happy and healthy, it’s often not a serious issue and should improve in the coming months.
