Major Symptoms Of Pyloric Stenosis

Vomiting After Feeding

One of the more dramatic signs of pyloric stenosis is vomiting after feeding. This is not just the normal spit up that happens with infants but projectile vomiting. This sort of vomiting arcs out of the baby’s mouth and can land some feet away. The vomit does not contain bile because the gallbladder was not able to inject bile into the stomach, but the milk or formula might have a sour smell because it has had time to be mixed with the hydrochloric acid and other enzymes in the stomach. This projectile vomiting leads to many of the other symptoms of pyloric stenosis. The vomiting sometimes happens immediately after the baby is fed but can occur some time after.
