Frequent vomiting in a 2-month-old baby may be caused by incomplete development of the digestive tract, improper feeding, gastrointestinal infection, or other reasons. Improper feeding practices—such as overfeeding, feeding too quickly, or incorrect feeding posture—can also trigger vomiting. Gastrointestinal infection is another common cause of vomiting in infants, which may be accompanied by other symptoms such as fever and diarrhea. If a 2-month-old baby experiences frequent vomiting and the symptoms are severe, prompt medical attention is recommended.
