Overfeeding or...: First consider if you are overfeeding or if feeds are too close together. If the vomiting is projectile- your infant needs immediate medical attention. When discussing with your baby's doctor describe volume of feeds, how frequently your are feeding. Let the doctor know how many wet diapers, stools baby is having.

Depends:: Depends on a few things... Often, this is actually normal if it is a little bit and occurs with burping. If it is excessive or projectile then that's a different story. Also, infants usually should not drink cows milk before a certain age, so if u are using cows milk, then that could be the problem. Often there can be reflux which is common in infants, so talk to your doctor about these variables.

Is he really vomitin: Is this vomiting or reflux. Have him sit up after feeding for at least one hour. If the vomiting stops it is probably due to reflux. If not it may be a reacchion to milk. Speak to your pediatrician for other suggestions.
