Rachel- Both docs (we went for a second opinion) said it is normal until 18 months old to puke like that. They said a muscle at the top of the tummy isn't strong enough to hold food down sometimes. They said if she's not upset and she gaining, then there is nothing wrong with her. They did also listen to her belly to make sure. However, they said it is normal. They said some kids are worse then others. Usually it slows down at 8 months though. Knock on wood, but Alia hasn't had a really bad puking day in a while. However, this morning she spit up 3 times, but small amounts. She turns 8 months tomorrow, so I do think it is getting better around 8 months. Only thing they recommended is to make sure we aren't over feeding her because some babies don't know when to stop eating and that makes them puke. However, seeing as though Alia was only doing it about once a week, I didn't think that was it because she ate the same amount every day.
For those of you (Rachel) that are feeding their babies solids... how many oz? I know Alia is the oldest of the group, but we are feeding her 4oz at 3 meals a day, plus puffs and usually something else small that she can use her fingers with. Daycare, thinks she's still hungry which is why she isn't napping. However, Alia is a BIG girl compared to her older classmates, so I don't wanna over feed her. But thinking about it she was eating that amount since about 6 months old, so I am not sure if I should up it.
they're all cute though!!!
