R.,
I too had the same thing happen to me with my little girl. It got so bad one time that I actually went to the Emergency Room with her, she was throwing up everything that I gave to her. And what they told me was that she had a big gas bubble and everytime she would eat it would move and push everything out in the form of vomit. So my advice to you would be to go and get some Mylicon and just give it to her before she eats and it should take care of the vomitting. But if it continues then I would suggest going to the doctor because she could have acid reflux. Anyways I hope this helps!

First, cereal in a bottle can be a choking hazard. If you want to give cereal, feed it from a spoon.

There is a stomach bug going around right now. I spent this weekend getting puked on my by son. Watch for dehydration. Is she still peeing at least 6 times a day? Is her soft spot sinking? Skin losing elasticity? If so, take her to the ER. If it is the virus going around, try some of the unflavored pedialyte. Water can dehydrate even more.

Contact her pediatrician.

Is your daughter still vomiting? If yes, please call your pediatrician. There are many viruses going around right now and she may have one. If that is not the problem, she may need a soy based formula which you could speak to her doctor about that. The important thing is to not allow this to go on long without calling the doctor or even visiting Portsmouth Naval ER. children/infants can become dehydrated very quickly. My grandson just got over a virus and he was very sick. My duaghter had to try to get him to drink Pedialite since nothing else was staying down. He had a very high fever also. Does your daughter have a fever? If yes, call your pediatrician immediately. Also, my grandson had potty problems also which is still going on slightly but getting better. When in doubt, call your doctor. That is what they are there for and if you feel they get irritated with you for calling...it's time to find a new pediatrician. Hope she feels better soon!!
