Frequent vomiting may be an indication of pyloric stenosis and of other gastic complaints. In PS the vomiting will be violent (arch-like), not bile stained, and develop to become so persistent that the baby loses weight and condition. When this happens it is high time to see a doctor and if necessary insist on tests for PS.
