How should I treat a baby who used to not spit up milk but now spits up more?

Patient's question:

Previously, there was mild vomiting of milk. Yesterday afternoon, vomiting of milk began. Today, after eating three times, there were four episodes of vomiting, with a significant amount of milk being vomited. The boiled water given was also vomited. The child's temperature is normal, and their mental state is good—no crying or fussing, normal urination, and they are willing to breastfeed.
Past Treatment and Effectiveness: Two weeks ago, the child also vomited milk for two days, but it resolved on its own.
Desired Help: How to go to the hospital, or how to manage it at home.

Doctor's answer:

Dear consultant,
Baby has recurrent vomiting due to incomplete development of the cardia and underdeveloped digestive system function, which is normal. If vomiting is excessive or all comes out after a bowel movement, it may lead to dehydration in the baby, requiring hospital treatment. If there are no signs of dehydration, such as poor (), less urine output, no tears when crying, or poor skin elasticity, you can wait and see.
