K try not to freak out. Did you change
his diet or somthing? I worked at pedi's
office, so may be I can give you some
advise. Does he have fever? Just make
sure that if you lay him down its on his
side incase he countines to vomit that he
doesnt breathe it in through his nose.

Well I haven't had mine yet so I can't
give you first hand advice but I know that
bottle fed babies are more likely to get
constipation than breastfed babies, and
that sometimes vomiting is caused by not
burping them real well.
Other than that I would say if he has a
temp then get him to a doctor.

Well I read in my book that if he vomits
(like it flys far when he spits/throws up)
and he doe it continuously, then ye he
must see a doctor. But im sure its just a
bug or something... He was healthy when u
left the hospital so it shouldnt be
anything serious. As for constipation..
Im not sure but it said as a few weeks
pass, they could go even -3 days without a
bowel movement and its normal??? Sounds
weird but it said it in my book lol. I
hope ur doc appt goes good.. If ur
worried about him vomiting in his sleep...
Get someone to watch him while u sleep
just to make sure.. But I read that
babies automatically turn their heads to
the side when spitting up or throwing up
(danica does so im sure its not too bad).
I hope everythings okay...
