Is this reflux? GERD?This doesn't happen everyday but sometimes my almost 14 month old son will drink 1 whole (7 oz) sippy cup of whole milk and then eat his whole dinner and almost immediately afterwards he will vomit up almost everything he ate. He eats well and is not sick....could this be acid reflux or more likely is it a milk allergy/lactose intolerance? Could it just be I am feeding him too much? He is gaining weight appropriately as he should be and he only seems to vomit after drinking milk (and almost always if he drinks a lot of it). He doesn't do this after every meal but he has done it 2 or 3 times this week. In your opinion does this sound like reflux??? Or rather a milk allergy/lactose intolerance? Someone please help. It is quite scary seeing your child forceful vomit all over the kitchen floor. And it is not just a little bit, it's a lot and usually contains whole pieces of whatever he has eaten...peas, corn, pasta shells, etc.

sounds like our nephew, he is going thru that right now. ped. said lactose problem and put him on Lactaid.. he is almost 2 and lactaid seems to help him.

I would first try a lactose free milk and if he still throws it up then try soy milk if he can keep that down then you know that he can only have soy milk. If he can't handle that either than contact your pediatrician, because he could be allergic to or certain dairy prouducts.
