I understood the baby to be spitting up after *being fed* on three
occasions in the same morning, not after sleeping....I now see
Barbara's description could be read either way. I would still want
to know (and maybe *see*) what the mother meant by large amounts.
Truly large amounts after sleeping are worth investigating, I agree.

Or, first, maybe observed by an experienced person, when feeding,
to check for attachment and milk transfer? I still haven't seen that
this essential step has been covered - it may have been, but I
haven't seen an account of it and what was observed.
I see the paediatrician is not using digital scales and too many
experiences with this sort of thing would make me ask further
questions, too.
I'd even wonder if a paed whose scales are not as modern as they
should be for a clinical assessment took care to weigh the baby
naked. Of course weight is part of the picture here, and a baby
gaining this slowly merits an assessment - but the weight needs to be
accurately done, and set in the wider context.
