How Can I Ease Vomiting in a 9-Month-Old Baby?

Vomiting occurs frequently in infants and small children. Viral and bacterial infections most often cause vomiting, but acute allergic reactions and chronic conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux can also cause vomiting in an 9-month-old baby. Vomiting once or twice won't harm your child, but persistent vomiting could cause dehydration, a serious condition in infants. See your baby's doctor if he doesn't improve within 24 hours. Simple measures often help reduce vomiting.
