Vomiting often occurs in babies and children. Viral and bacterial infections most often cause vomiting, but acute allergic reactions and chronic diseases such as gastroesophageal reflux can also cause vomiting in 9-month-old infants. Vomiting once or twice will not harm your child, but persistent vomiting can cause dehydration, which is a serious condition in infants. If he does not improve within 24 hours, please take a look at your baby's doctor. Simple measures usually help reduce vomiting.

Your baby needs liquid to keep moisture when vomiting, but if she is every 5 to 30 minutes Vomit once, even without liquids. Once vomiting slows down to the pediatrician Dr. William Sears, liquids begin to appear every one to two hours. Continue breastfeeding because breast milk is very digestible. You may find breastfeeding more frequently, but you can keep your feeding stable in a shorter period of time. If your baby is drinking formula, switch to oral rehydration if the doctor agrees. Avoid the use of high-sugar and sports drinks, which usually contain large amounts of sugar and electrolyte balance that may be harmful to the baby. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, infants under 1 year of age should not take milk or dairy products. Sears recommends that when vomiting slows down to two to four times a day, reconstitute half and half of the oral rehydration, Sears recommends.
Detaining solids
Normal Most people of 9 months old diets include liquid and solid foods. If your baby vomits, he may not want to eat his usual solid food. Although this may make you feel scared, as long as you can keep moisture, don't eat it for another day or two. Sears recommends keeping solid foods until your baby vomits down two to four times a day.
Give antiemetics
If your baby has severe vomiting and is at risk of severe dehydration, her health care provider may relieve vomiting by quelling the center of the brain that causes vomiting medicine. Because your baby may not be able to take oral medications, antiemetics can also be given in rectal suppositories. Unless the baby's medicalService providers stipulate that they should not be given antiemetics; in some cases, it is best to continue vomiting to remove irritants from the body.
Start using solid foods
Slowly start using solid foods, avoid high-fat foods, and provide foods high in carbohydrates, such as pasta or rice, lean meats and vegetables. Most doctors no longer emphasize the BRAT diet, which stands for bananas, rice, applesauce and toast for vomiting babies or children. If you provide the food he likes, the baby may eat the best. If your baby starts vomiting again, stop using solids and resume eating until vomiting slows again.
