Hi....by what you quote I feel that the kid is having severe form of GER (gastroesophageal reflux).
Your kid will need -
1. Antireflux therapy - Proton pump inhibitors + antiemetics
2. Always make the kid lie down in a propped up position - as in the care seat. The kid should not be sleeping completely flatly.
3. Avoid heavy feeding and feeding more times and in small aliquots.
Your kid needs expert pediatric gastroenterology consultation.
