My five-month-old vomits after every feed. Is it normal?

Babies often spit up when they get too much milk too fast. This may happen when baby feeds very quickly or aggressively, or when mom’s breasts are overfull. The amount of spit-up typically appears to be much more than it really is. If baby is very distractible (pulling off the breast to look around) or fussy at the breast, he may swallow air and spit up more often. Some babies spit up more when they are teething, starting to crawl, or starting solid foods. A few statistics (for all babies, not just breastfed babies): - Spitting up usually occurs right after baby eats, but it may also occur 1-2 hours after a feeding. - Half of all 0-3 month old babies spit up at least once per day. - Spitting up usually peaks at 2-4 months. - Many babies outgrow spitting up by 7-8 months. - Most babies have stopped spitting up by 12 months.
