Is it normal for a baby to throw up her entire bottle about once every 7-10 days?  She does it with BM and formula.  We have no problem except for these few occasions.

DH: What's going on?!?
Me: I don't know, but THIS is the baby I woke up to this morning.

It could be that she is getting very colicky  during those feeds, or just that she has reaten too much.  if it is only once every 10 days, I wouldnt worry about it, but I would mention it to the pediatrician at her next appt.

Does it happen to be after drinking it while asleep (during a dream feed) or otherwise falling asleep on the bottle?  Or while awake?  I would try to keep them awake during feeds if it is - although that defeats the purpose of the dreamfeed obviously.  It's worth a call to your pediatrician or nurse...

must be fun to clean up the mess every week or so - as a mother of a reflux baby, I know all about that.
