Reasons to Vomit

Our little pookling vomited again today (not merely a “wet burp” as little spit-ups are called), prompting a Kaiser-recommended visit at 8:20pm.

He was weighed at 19lbs, 12.75oz.

The doctor praised pooklet’s health and demeanor, and suggested reducing his intake with each meal (several people have commented on isaac’s chunkiness, and several doctors have remarked that we feed him more than normal), and propping him up a bit when he sleeps (to guard against acid reflux). The vitamin drops we’ve been giving him might also be a culprit. She suggested we ease off the grains (rice cereal, oatmeal) we’ve recently introduced, and try potatoes and bananas instead.
She’s also “not impressed” with his “congestion.”
Pookie didn’t agree with everything the doctor said, and I could see her points, but I still ended up wanting to give more credence than Pookie to the doctor’s advice, especially since it would mean that our little pookling is healthy and exceptional.
