8 month old vomiting - advice please!

[annemari]

Since Christmas my baby (now 8 1/2 months old) has been violently sick about once a week - it's always on the last milk feed of the day and each time he is sick just once then is fine. I find certain foods (disgusting but true) in his vomit from the day before - even 30 hours before - it just seems to be volumes and volumes of sick.

He was never a 'sicky' baby, so I don't think it's reflux.

He started on solids just before Christmas, but I can't see any pattern with what it might be - he tolerates wheat and dairy fine for 6 days out of 7, but then will projectile vomit on the 7th day!

He's putting on weight and fine in himself - is this just something I should be unconcerned about?

If it is something that you can't seem to pinpoint, and it doesn't seem to be stopping, I would advise a trip to the pediatrician. Trust your instincts - you seem a bit worried so listen to that. There is probably nothing wrong - he's gaining weight and still eating - but I would suggest a dr visit anyway.

They can still develope acid reflux at any time in life, regardless if he had it early on or not so that could be the problem. My son was diagnosed at a month old but I didn't develope it until I was 3. So it comes at all different stages.
