I know the feeling about Dan throwing up and it not being nasuea. I usually threw up in the morning after my first feeding due to all the mucous settling in my stomach overnight. I learned not to eat right away after waking up and that seemed to help. During the day I would rinse my mouth out with the baking soda/salt mixture to break down the mucous and get it out of my mouth. I would go through at least a quart a day of this mixture to rinse my mouth out. I seemed to not have any problems during the day with throwing up. The mixture is 1 tablespoon salt / 1 tablespoon baking soda / 1 quart of water. I would rinse a lot throughout the day and also get up and rinse during the night. I always had 2 - 1 quart bottles made a day.
