i just feel like adding our name to the list of vomiting gaggers, to reassure anyone else out there that we are, I think, a fairly numerous bunch - it's pretty worrying if you think yours is the only child who does it. Our dd is a horrendous vomiting gagger - she had a really bad cold at about 8 / 9 months, in which lots of coughing led to being sick and that seemed to weaken her control over vomiting (i know no biology whatsoever, but am told by her GP that the same muscle controls coughing and vomiting, and babies under one have particularly weak control over it). Whilst we now seem over the annoying habit she had of puking when in any situation she was not happy with (especially bed time), she will still regularly vomit up her entire lunch (isn't it always at the end of a really good meal?) if something makes her a bit gaggy (no raw apple, ever again, until she's old enough to wipe up her own puke). I just wipe up and offer more food and am thankful for the pelican bib, which can hold a surprising amount of semi-digested lunch... (don't seem to be able to log in today, but it's macaroon here)
