Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Overfeeding, not liking the formula,swallowing of excessive air along with formula and gastro esophageal reflux will cause vomiting of the formula..
Appropriate amount of feed, change of formula, burping after each feed and thickened formula in sitting position will help relieve vomiting.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
