Another personal story...My daughter vomited enough milk to soak
a small cloth diaper after every feeding for at least six
months. The milk just kind of gushed up, not projectile. She
seemed to feed much more calmly that her older brother and
generally only took one breast at a feeding. She was very
healthy and gained 2#/month for the first year until she started
walking, at which time she slimmed down a bit. The doctor was
never concerned, in fact she encouraged me to delay solids as
long as possible. In contrast, my son nursed almost
continuously, it seemed, took both breasts twice at each feed,
never spit up and hovered at the bottom of the growth charts.
Today, both in their teens, they are both very tall, he very
thin, she average to slightly overweight.  By the way, he also
had very severe allergies having been given ABM in the hospital
to which he developed severe excema, then food allergies, then
asthma, in spite of being completely bf after the hospital
experience, with me on a restricted diet for several years. Goes
to show what "just a little formula" can do to a baby with the
right genetic makeup.  Anyways, back to the original problem, I
would advise the mom to keep extra cloth diapers in the car,
baby bag, etc. I always panicked when caught without one,
knowing that after the next feed would come the deluge!

Mostly dry now,
