Bringing up milk is common in babies. Milk is going in the stomach and coming back up leading to this. They may vomit a little bit also. If you are breastfeeding, it is nothing to worry as it is infrequent. If you are giving formula, this is going to be frequent. Consult a pediatrician if it happens frequently

He must be having colic or gas issues which is causing the reflux or vomiting like sensation in him. Please do proper burping after every feed and you can also use colic drops.
