I'm glad you reached out — vomiting and watery stools in a 5-month-old baby need careful attention. Here's what you should do:
⚠️ Possible Causes:
Overfeeding or feeding too fast
Cow’s milk protein intolerance (if formula-fed)
Gastroenteritis (viral infection)
Reflux (GERD)
Next Steps
1. Feed smaller amounts more frequently – burp the baby well after each feed.
2. Hold upright for 20–30 minutes after feeding – reduces vomiting.
3. Monitor stool – watery poop more than 5–6 times/day with foul smell, mucus, or blood needs urgent attention.
4. Check for dehydration – dry lips, reduced urine, irritability, sunken eyes → see doctor immediately.
5. If formula-fed: ask pediatrician about switching to a lactose-free or hypoallergenic formula.
6. Breastfeeding? Continue — it's the best. Watch your own diet (avoid dairy/spicy foods if sensitive).
7. ORS (oral rehydration solution) only if advised by a doctor — for mild dehydration signs.
Health Tips
Let me know if she's breastfed or formula-fed — I can give more tailored suggestions

Usually infant up to 1 yr can regurgitate milk due to lax esophagus. Avoid large volume at a time. Low volume frequent feed is best
