Question
My baby is vomiting excessively, and I don’t know what to do. Last night, two hours after feeding him, he vomited again, and it was a lot, almost all the milk he had eaten came back up.

Can I massage him after feeding if some time has passed, like an hour? Second Follow-up Question: Hello, my son has discharge from both corners of his eyes.
