Vomiting in Babies

Question by J D:
Why is my baby vomiting?
Almost every night this week, my four month old has vomited right after the last nursing session, right before bed. He feeds, I burp him and rock him a little, keep him upright for a good while, and then as soon as his little head hits the crib sheet, his eyes open and he begins to spit up. And it’s not just a little tiny bit of spit up, it’s a decent amount. He’s a big baby, he’s not losing weight, and he rarely cries after it happens. In fact, he easily puts himself to sleep right after. But why is this happening? It’s such a strange pattern, as he’s not vomiting after any other feed during the day. Could it be something I am eating? Is he overeating and as a result, vomiting? Help!
Thanks to those of you who so kindly pointed out that I should take him to a doc to find out. I appreciate the camaraderie and support of you wise moms! Actually, I have spoken to the doc in the past when he’s vomited and he has said not to worry. As long as he’s gaining weight and happy, he’s fine. I just hoped to find some mothers who could offer support/advice, not sarcasm. Thanks anyway!
Well, that last rant was just for those who so smugly recommended I take him to the ped, not for those who nicely recommended it. I need to go to bed. I am too sensitive when I am tired.
