hello madam,
7 week old child of yours with problem of refusal to feed and vomiting...most common cause for this could be gastritis which is quite usual in infants.other causes can be gastric outlet obstruction or gerd.However since the child is irritable and not feeding well,I suggest that the child be shown to a pediatrician for proper evaluation
thank you
