I can`t help it -- this makes me think of university discussions about
how to avoid getting drunk or getting hang-overs. Just shared some of
these suggestions with my son, who is in first year. We figured out most
of the same factors Kathy D. mentions here, but couldn`t figure out why
you don`t throw up if you have one leg lower than the other in bed...
I`m sure this must be BF-related: it must be relevant to colicky babies,
or those with refluxes, wouldn`t you think?
Jo-Anne, getting her stomach in gear for Thanksgiving, I guess...
