Question: Why do babies vomit so much?
It is important to differentiate between vomiting, positing and reflux. Vomiting is not very common, and may be due to some disease process (eg. infection, food allergy). The vomits is usually altered food and may be green in color, indicating the presence of bile. It may occur several hours after a feed.
Positing occurs in most infants, and is the regurgitation of milk and food from the mouth, gullet and upper part of the stomach during or immediately after a feed. It is caused by over feeding, rapid feeding or burping, and it does not require any treatment.
Reflux is the regurgitation of the stomach contents immediately after a meal, and for some time afterwards. It is distressing to the child, as stomach acid is bought up, and this burns the gullet. This can be helped by posture feeding, slow feeding and mixtures (such as Infant Gaviscon) that may be given after a meal.

Two to three years spacing between one child and the next is considered necessary both for the health of the mother and the well-being of the child. The mother thus has time to recuperate from her pregnancy and can devote all her attention to the growing demands of the child.
If the next pregnancy occurs too soon, the mother has hardly any time to recuperate before she has to start preparing for the next baby. Your doctor will advise you regarding the form of contraception most suitable for you.
