Reflux may cause your baby to bring up a little milk after a feed, and can also give him hiccups. He may occasionally cough after bringing up milk if a little has gone "down the wrong way. However, a more severe case of reflux can cause your baby to be sick, often after feeding. It's common for babies to vomit often in the early weeks as they adjust to feeding and as their bodies develop. You can tell when your baby is vomiting, rather than just bringing up small quantities of milk (possetting), because there will be a lot more coming out. But forceful (or projectile) vomiting in a newborn is the hallmark symptom of pyloric stenosis. If you see forceful vomiting, call your baby's doctor. Babies who can't keep food down need help quickly to avoid dehydration, weight loss, and other complications.
