1 year old baby projectile vomiting?

Projectile vomiting in a 1-year-old should always be carefully evaluated. If it's a single occurrence and your baby is cheerful, eating and drinking normally, it's usually not concerning. But in some cases, it can signal pyloric stenosis (narrowing at the stomach outlet), though this typically appears earlier in infancy.
Most common causes at 1 year: gastrointestinal infection (especially rotavirus), reflux episode, overeating, or vomiting after a coughing fit.
What you should do:
- Seek immediate medical attention (consult doctor right away): if vomiting repeats constantly, contains green/yellow bile, baby seems limp/drowsy, there's bloody vomit, or baby hasn't urinated for 6 hours.
- Consult doctor same day: if there are 2+ projectile vomiting episodes within 24 hours, accompanied by diarrhea, fever above 38°C.
General rule: projectile vomiting in a 1-year-old is never "just a normal phase"—it always warrants evaluation. I recommend consulting your pediatrician.
