Baby needs to see a doctor.

First, is baby making the usual amount of wet diapers? Is her soft spot on the top of her head flat (not sunken or bulging)? Is her mouth moist? Is her color good/normal? If no to any of these, you need to go to the ER as babies can get dehydrated easily, especially as young and small as two months. There could be many medical causes for the vomiting (the flu, reflux, pyloric stenosis, lactose intolerance - just to name a few). If she does not look acutely ill, see your doctor tomorrow, if you are not sure, call your doctor now (they should have an answering service) or just go to the ER. Better safe than sorry. Also, there is a difference between spitting up (a tiny bit) and forceful or projectile vomiting. A little spitting up is ok but the latter is a problem requiring immediate eval by a doctor. Trust your instincts - by asking this question shows you sense a problem. The question now is can baby wait to see the doctor in the morning or do you go to the ER now. Do what you think is best but let me say it again - better safe than sorry. Good luck!

She could be swallowing a lot of air while she is feeding. You need to burp her about every 5 minutes during feeding and immediately after and see if that helps. Don't prop her bottle up and let her drink lying down; she should be in a sitting position to prevent swallowing so much air. Also, do you feed her until she stops eating or do you give her a specific amount and then stop? If she eats too much she will throw up. Make sure you KNOW how much an 8 week old baby should have at each feeding. She could have a problem with her pyloric valve at the top of her stomach or she may be fine. You need to make sure that, whatever type of milk you feed her, she gets plenty of vitamins. You should ask about giving her pediatric vitamins mixed in her formula. You CANNOT let that baby continue to suffer with constipation; that will make her vomiting get worse. Besides that, it hurts her stomach and is not good for her. Ask the doctor or pharmacist about giving her a few drops of Cascara baby laxative to soften her stools. I think I would be hesitant to feed her soy milk without the pediatrician approving it. Babies are delicate little angels and fooling around with their formula can make them sick. They have to be GRADUALLY weaned off one formula instead of just suddenly changing it.

As long as your baby is gaining weight dont worry about it! My son who just turned 1 threw up with every bottle for the first 4 or 5 months, the pediatrician said his weight was fine and not to worry, some babies are just spitters. Now if it's projectile vomiting then see the doc.

Try to make her burp after every 2 ounces of feeding, put her on your shoulder and gently pat her lower back until she gives a big burp. Burping will lessen colic and other gas problems. But you have to be patient as it usually takes time.

Babies being a new human being, throw up all the time. Their little systems are just starting to learn how to handle things. Give her some time, her little belly will learn how to handle stuff. If it keeps getting worse take her to the doc. I'm thinking the doc will tell you something simular. Is she getting enough water? Do you burp her regular? Lay her on your lap face down and pat her back gently until she farts. Maybe its gas.

a baby that small throwing up so much should see a Dr. as soon as you can you should at least call the Dr. to see what they say the baby could become dehydrated if she throws up too much. 1 or 2 times isn't much but 4 days in a row there is something wrong.

Your baby might be suffering from the following:
Over feeding - don't feed her everytime she cries
Viral infection - She might be throwing up from mucus
Lactose intolerance - try Lactose free milk
