Hi there, I am not a doctor but something just popped into my head when you said boy and throwing up--Pyeloric Stenosis- more common in boys, involves puking, usually projectile. had my daughter checked when she was a newborn, for it because she was puking. Not as common in girls though. The opening from the stomach to the small intestines is smaller or non existant thus they can't pass food down. I know two twin boys who had the problem- a minor( I think) surgery corrected the problem and they are doing great now!! Have it definately checked out-he should be eating like a little piggie by now! hope this helped!
