1.5-month-old baby vomiting?

In 1.5-month-olds, vomiting typically appears in two very different forms, each with different meanings.
Normal: "Waterfall-like" vomiting isn't normal; small amounts dribbling from the mouth without the baby being distressed — this is called regurgitation in medical terms. At this age, the valve between stomach and esophagus hasn't fully developed, so nearly all babies experience this. If weight gain is good, no concern is needed.
Watch out for (urgent): If baby projectile vomits forcefully right after feeding — this could be a sign of pyloric stenosis. Especially if it happens at every feeding, baby isn't gaining weight or weight gain has slowed, and wet diaper count has decreased, contact a pediatrician the same day.
Seeing greenish-yellow (bile) or brown/red (blood) material in vomit also requires urgent evaluation.
In short: dribbling, small-amount spit-ups are normal. Forceful, projectile vomiting at every feeding is urgent.
