Piper seems to gag alot, she will just be sitting on me and start gagging. She seems to have a lot of "spit bubbles". I dont remember the other two doing this, anything I should be concerned about?

this may not be the case, *but* that's how our dr figured out that Faith had GERD and decided it was bad enough to medicate. She had lots of bubbly frothy spit, and was constantly choking and she wasn't really spitting up. also, we noticed her gulping alot in between feedings, she was trying to keep it down. she also has a constantly stuffy nose, symptomatic.
??? i'm sure it doesn't help much, but that's what went on with this little pooper. sorry!

that is similar to what we experienced w/ dd. she would gag, had apnic (apnea) episodes & spat up a lot. so definately pay attention to her breathing....that is why our ped medicated. been on it 2mo & hardle ever has apenic episodes now. still spits up occasionally instead of all day long!
