6-month-old baby vomiting blood?

Blood vomiting at this age is definitely something to take seriously.
Call your child's emergency room or 112 immediately.
The most common causes can be:
- Swallowed mother's blood (from cracked nipples) — usually harmless but requires expertise to distinguish
- Esophagitis or gastritis (irritation from reflux)
- Foreign object in food pipe or Mallory-Weiss tear (after severe coughing/vomiting)
What you should do:
- Take a photo of the vomit and show it to the doctor
- Keep baby NPO (nothing by mouth) but don't give anything else
- If there's letharness, paleness, or black/coffee-ground vomit, it's even more urgent
Stay safe.
