When my daughter was an infant the first 2-3 months of her life she was doing that daily. VERY scary. First off have you eliminated all milk products, including hidden dairy from your diet if you are breastfeeding? Or if not get rid of milk based formulas. Once I eliminated all milk from my diet the vomiting stopped for good within weeks. It seems milk is behind projectile voimiting most of the time.
Also, we kept her with us at all times, so she wouldn’t choke. I do not want to scare you, but I will be honest. I personally feel when a baby is vomiting like that it can be a life and death situation. I had her sleep in bed with us or in the bassinette right next to us so I could keep an eye on her. Her choking in her sleep or while I was asleep was a very real fear.
When she was a newborn in the hospital and my husband was asleep and I was laying down I happened to look over at her in that bed and saw her laying there helpless with vomit filling her mouth, and it wasn’t flowing out it was sitting there. I knew she was choking, I had to run over, pick her up, and help her. I hate to think of what would’ve happened if we had both been asleep. After that I didn’t sleep for 3 days.
I know where you are coming from, just keep a good eye on her. Inform your GI/Dr. as well, and put her to sleep on her side, can you believe that was the only advice the ped Dr. gave me when I told him of my fear?
BIG HUGZ,
