The commonest cause of vomiting at this age is regurgitation due to overfeeding.
Give only breastfeeds at regular intervals of atleast 2 to 2-1/2 hours,NOT before.
Don't wake her up for feeds,and burp her for 10 mins after every feed.
After burping,lay her on her right side for half an hour and keep her elevated by placing a cushion beneath the head and shoulders.
Do not give anything else by mouth except breastfeeding.
No medicine is required.
