Frequent vomiting in a 2-month-old baby is often due to the infant's digestive system not being fully developed, resulting in ineffective digestion of food and the inability to promptly eliminate food residues from the body, thus causing symptoms such as vomiting. It may also be caused by inappropriate food intake, such as consuming too much formula milk, food containing excessive additives, or food that is too hot.
