Hi, Nikki. You say, "The mother has noticed that a day of feedings supplemented with her cream are followed by a vomiting day." I am wondering, is mom feeding the same amount baby used to take of regular milk, and *adding* an amount of her cream? Perhaps the mother is doing this already, and it just isn't clear to me, but I'm thinking that mother should be *replacing* an amount of "regular" with an equal amount of "high-fat" milk. So if baby usually took 3 oz. at a feeding, she should not be giving that 3 oz. and then offering an additional 1/2 oz. of "high-fat" milk; she should be giving 2 1/2 oz. "regular" with 1/2 oz. "high-fat", or similar math depending on how much "high-fat" she is able to get. Otherwise, she is overextending baby's tummy, which could account for the vomiting. I know that babies with cardiac problems sleep more because they don't circulate oxygen well. But could it be that those days when baby barely wakes are days after "vomiting days", and he is just worn out from the exertion of vomiting?
