As for the issue of a five-month-old baby vomiting milk, common reasons include inappropriate feeding methods, such as excessive feeding amount, mother’s nipples causing difficulty in sucking due to indentation, or excessive air in the bottle, insufficient milk, etc., all of which may cause the baby to swallow a large amount of air and lead to vomiting.
