NPO for two hrs then clear fluid
The best home remedy for baby vomiting is holding the baby upright for 30 minutes after each feeding, burping them frequently during this time. Also, make sure baby is pooping regularly as constipation or increased straining with bowel movements can cause vomiting. Sometimes formula changes or changes of diet with mom can be effective but you should consult your doctor first before going this route.
You should not prevent a baby from vomiting. Your baby is vomiting for a reason. Some reasons for babies vomiting include reflux, dehydration or a food allergy. You should seek help from your primary care doctor to assess if any additional testing is required.
