Thank you for the tip about the alcohol swabs. We will try it.
We have been told by doctors also to increase the number of daily feeding so to cut down on the amount per feeding. We found that this works sometimes and other times no matter the amount of feeding given there is immediate vomiting.
Some members have indicated to follow with the daily feeding regimen and than estimate the amount vomited and add this quantity to the daily dosage so that the patient receives the same amount of calories everyday.
