Best Answer

Children and babies do frequently vomit until their immune system has learned to properly fight off diseases and bacteria. Should the vomiting continue past 24-48 hours then it is relevant that you seek medical attention. While it is normal for children to vomit, it is certainly still a cause for concern, and shouldn't be treated lightly.
