Several feet: Projectile vomiting is the forceful expulsion of vomit, usually several feet away. Typical vomiting is several inches away. Projectile vomiting in a young infant can be a sign of pyloric stenosis and must be promptly evaluated.

No defined distance: Projectile vomiting is not a particular distance. Rather it is the quality of vomiting, that is to say not dribbling or that associated with burping in the newborn.
