How Can I Ease Vomiting in a 9-month-old Baby?

The vomiting of a 9-month-old could draw unnecessary panic. Many parents come to the emergency room worried about their child's illness. This tension could cause your child to become anxious as well. Pay close attention to the overall appearance of your child as this is a telltale sign of the severity of her illness. Nourishment is important, as is communication with a pediatrician if the 9-month-old vomits for an extended period of time.

Instructions

• 1

  Keep your infant well hydrated. Cow's milk should not be given to children under 1 year because, according to WebMD, it has possibly been linked to diabetes in infants. Nourish your baby on a diet of breast milk or formula and baby food.

• 2

  Give your child small, but frequent, meals. Too much food could additional stomach upset. Let your child nurse about every 40 minutes.

• 3

  Keep your baby on an incline. She might be suffering from reflux, when stomach contents travel upward toward the mouth. Reflux might not be a serious concern, but it can be uncomfortable for a baby so keep her lying on an incline both when she sleeps and after she eats.

• 4

  Monitor the vomiting. Gauge whether to see a doctor by paying attention to the child's overall appearance. Determine whether your child is happy or looks upset.

• 5

  See a doctor if there are more than three vomiting incidents. The doctor will determine if a prescription medication is necessary.
