This started as a scary, yet frustrating, few days for Luca and I. Mia had been spitting up after every meal, then started vomiting. I checked her temperature, which was between 37.3 and 37.6 - which is not high enough to warrant a trip to the ER or MD. I called Ontario Telehealth, and was recommended to feed her small amounts, frequently. I was finding this method, although effective at keeping down the fluids, made for a very cranky Mia.

I decided this morning, as Mia was very hungry, to pump a bit of breast milk out first. I read that the fore-flow causes more gas, and usually has a faster letdown. Once I filled 2 ounces in an external bottle, I picked up Mia and fed her the hind-milk. She ate for a content 25 minutes and fell fast asleep.

If you're finding your Little One to be fussy between feedings, this may be the reason. It's not something you would do all the time, but on those odd occasions when your Little One has been bit by the stomach bug, this seems to do the trick!
