Hi, thank you for posting.
I think your baby suffer from Lactose Intolerance(inability to digest lactose).
When someone suffers from Lactose Intolerance he/she throws up 30 minutes after he/she has drunk the milk. This is the reason why I think your baby suffers from this disease.
However you need some tests to be sure for the diagnosis:
1- Blood test.
2- Stool acidity test.
These tests will show the causes and determine the right treatment.
You should immediately consult a pediatrician, to discuss about Lactogen 2.
I hope you find this helpful.
Take Care.
