Hello Sal,
I am sure you are very worried about your grand baby! You have all been dealing with these symptoms for 10 months. It is difficult to know what is going on. I wonder if you have discussed these concerns with her pediatrician and a pediatric gastroenterologist? If she is gaining weight, spit up is not a big worry. If she is vomiting a whole meal, this could affect her weight and growth and needs to be checked by the doctor.
I wonder what is going on at night. Is she waking up or taking pauses in her breathing when she is still asleep? Again, difficult to know exactly what is happening but it is a worrisome symptom that needs to be discussed with the doctor. Sometimes it helps to write down a symptoms list and keep a journal for one day and night, write down each time she vomits or has other symptoms. Do this for 1-4 days and bring the information to the doctor. This will help the doctor see a patten to the symptoms and decide how serious it is.
Let me know if I have answered your questions.
Best wishes,
Jan
