Vomiting
Vomiting as a cause of failure to thrive may itself have many causes:
- Indicator of general infection
- Pyloric stenosis
- Hiatus hernia
- Oesophageal incoordination
Note that some babies enjoy bringing their feeds back, 'ruminating' like a cow. This is often a difficult habit to break but becomes less of a problem as the infant's diet, abilities and interests change. This behaviour is unlikely to be a cause of failure to thrive.
