Hello Jess!
I had gone through your query and understand your concerns.
I have to tell that there is no reason for a healthy child to vomit once a week or more.
The fact that he vomits every week , he isn't looking well , has weight loss indicates that something is going wrong with him.
I suggest to consult his pediatrician and get him examined.
He need a complete evaluation:detailed physical examination , complete blood work-up, urinalysis.
According to the findings further investigations may be necessary for diagnosis and treatment.

Hope my answer has helped.
Wish a good health to your nephew.

Take care
Dr.Rovena
