Vomiting is one of the commonest complaints for which the parents seek medical advice.  Bringing out little milk after feeds - Possetting, is common due to gastro-oesophageal reflux, a normal condition in babies due to weak ‘valve’ at the lower end of the food pipe. This is the same condition that would have caused heart heartburn in mothers when they were pregnant. Make sure you take time to burp the baby after every feed, especially if they are bottle fed.
