15. Provide supplemental information here.

As per the web site, www.babycenter.ca, it's common for babies to vomit frequently in the early weeks as they adjust to feeding and as their bodies develop. It is noted that during your baby's first few months, vomiting is probably due to mild feeding problems such as overfeeding or a temporary allergy to proteins in breast milk or formula.
