What Causes Vomiting In A Kid After Giving Cerelac?
As she vomited repeatedly, doctor cleaned her stomach as the reason might be of cerelac. She is sleeping now for past 4 hours without drinking milk. She woke up twice, but not interested in drinking milk. But no vomiting after that. What is the reason for her vomit? Did we start the cerelac too early? She earlier had same vomiting problem before 2 months when we tried formula milk.. Later we avoided that and only exclusive breast feeding. Please advice me on this.. I am too concerned on seeing her condition.

HI...by what you quote I feel that the infant is having GER (gastroesophageal reflux).
Your daughter will need -
1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics
2. Always make her lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. She should not be sleeping completely flatly.
3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.
4. She needs expert gastroenterology consultation.
