Why does a 1-year-old baby vomit?
⚡ Short answer: In 1-year-olds, viral infections are the most common cause of vomiting; if there's no urination for 4-6 hours, blood or bile in the vomit, high fever, or the baby seems drowsy and weak, see a doctor the same day.

Why does a 1-year-old baby vomit? I see so many different things online, what's the real answer?

The most common reason for vomiting in a 1-year-old is a viral infection (stomach flu). Beyond that, persistent coughing, swallowing too much saliva while teething, eating too fast, or eating too much in one meal can also cause vomiting. Usually it passes on its own within 24 hours.
What really matters medically is how long it lasts and whether other signs appear. If your baby has:
- No wet diapers for more than 4-6 hours (a sign of dehydration),
- Blood or greenish (bile) vomit,
- High fever (above 38°C),
- Seems constantly sleepy and exhausted,
- Repeatedly shaking their head side to side, or recent fall/injury,
I'd suggest a same-day visit to your pediatrician. Online information tends to repeat the same things, but your baby's specific situation is best evaluated by a doctor.
