Nighttime vomiting in 1-year-olds can come from several causes:
Most common:
- Stomach-gut infection (gastroenteritis) — usually with fever, diarrhea, or lethargy
- Reflux — can be triggered by sleeping position
- Night coughing fits — mucus drainage can trigger the gag reflex
- Eating too fast or too late
When to call 112 (emergency):
- Blood in vomit (bright red or coffee-ground color)
- Baby confused, extremely drowsy, won't wake
- No wet diapers for 6+ hours, sunken eyes, no tears when crying
- Trouble breathing, lips turning blue
- Vomiting after a fall or head injury
What you can do at home:
- After vomiting, hold baby upright for 15–20 minutes
- Clean mouth gently, offer a few tiny sips of water (don't force)
- If vomiting stops after 1–2 times, wait 30 minutes before feeding again
- Then feed small amounts frequently (just sips or soft foods)
When to see a doctor:
- Vomiting lasts longer than 24 hours
- Fever is present
- Vomiting is severe and frequent (every 15–20 minutes)
- Baby is losing weight or struggling to feed
Nighttime vomiting usually resolves on its own, but if any red flags above appear, don't delay — get medical help right away.
