OK, so several days ago, Violet "threw up." Then it happened the next two days. I'm told it was probably "spit up" rather than "throw up," but anyway, that's what I noticed first. Then the night before last night, she was up a lot at night and when I tried putting her down, she would cry. I found that if I laid her on my chest she was better. We bed-share so I drifted off a bit like this before shifting her to her side and then to her back next to me. We were up a good long time before I was able to do this, however. She also kept trying to nurse but it seemed she had drained things out and there was nothing left. Last night was another sleepless night where she would get upset if I put her anywhere other than laying on my chest. Another problem is that when nursing, she often coughs and gags after sucking for a while. At this point, I generally try to burp her although I'm never quite sure how long to try for. Last night and the night before, there was a lot of nursing, crying, and generally not settling down.
Does she perhaps have reflux? Could it be she's still getting used to my flow of milk and in the meantime it's causing problems? What do you think?
