Beverly, have you tried one sided nursing for each 2 hour period, and
nursing uphill? Throat uphill from milk supply/nipple? Is the baby vomiting
prolifically? Projectile? Sounds like a dairy sensitivity to me...we are
happy to have with us a pediatric gastroenterologist...maybe we will hear
expert words here.
