Hi and welcome to HCM

Vomiting is common during first trimester of pregnancy and this will come down as pregnancy progresses. But some women may continue vomiting through out pregnancy.

Milk is rich in calcium and it is very much indicated in pregnancy. If it is causing you vomiting then take less quantity and take calcium supplements

Follow these instructions:

1.Eat little and often to prevent heartburn and nausea. An empty stomach can increase nausea. Keep blood sugars steady. Try eating small amounts of bland, dry food throughout the day.

2.avoid rich, spicy, acidic or fried foods, and eat less fat in general as they tend to irritate your stomach lining resulting in the production of more gastric acid

3.Do not lie down after a meal. If you move about a bit, you're less likely to throw up the food

4.Try drinking between meals if you're finding it hard to keep fluids down, and limit drinks during meals. Be sure to drink regularly

5.Have a spoon of diluted ginger juice mixed with honey every morning. Ginger is known to settle stomachs and help nausea. However, ginger should be used in moderation and with care – it doesn't help everyone.

6.If iron tablets are aggravating your nausea, discuss the alternatives with your doctor.

7.Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) or a pregnancy multivitamin may reduce pregnancy sickness and also some drugs like doxinate can control vomiting, but do take this medication under your doctor care.

If nothing is helping then consult doctor.
