Hello and welcome to Healthcamagic.
This may be hypertrophic pylorus which is common condition in this age and it should be treated in hospital and you should see pediatric surgeon for further treatment. This is worst case,and in many other there is just milk intolerance or viral gastritis. it should be in every case treated by professional.
I hope I have answered your query. I wish you a nice day.
