If my 6-month-old vomits after solids, does the food disagree with them?
⚡ Short answer: Seeing vomiting after you introduce a new food is pretty common—usually it's not an allergy, just your baby's reaction to the food or portion size.

I gave baby a new puree and they threw up shortly after. Is this the food not sitting right, was the portion too much, or should I try again?

Seeing vomiting after you introduce a new food is pretty common—usually it's not an allergy, just your baby's reaction to the food or portion size. Allergic reactions typically come with other signs: rash (bumpy, raised hives on the skin), puffiness around lips or eyes, or wheezy breathing. If none of these appear and your baby otherwise seems fine, it's likely the portion was too large or your baby's stomach capacity was full.
Wait a few days and try the same puree in a much smaller amount (like 1-2 teaspoons). If vomiting repeats, pause that food for a while and discuss with your pediatrician before trying again.
