Thank you for following up.It's common for babies to burp often in the early months as they adjust to feeding and introducing of new food and as their bodies develop. You can tell me when your baby is vomiting after birth or after introducing of apple juice.The sudden onset of vomiting is more likely to be caused by intestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis. This infection is often accompanied by diarrhoea.
Constant regurgitation may be due to pyloric stenosis, pylorospasmus, which is a rare condition. Pyloric stenosis is most likely to begin when your baby is a few weeks old, but could show up at any time before he reaches four months.
Best regards
