Our healthy baby girl vomits nearly daily, usually from trying a food she doesn't like, gagging on an apple peel or something else despite out efforts to keep touchy food out of the way, sometimes from a hard cry, sometimes because she sticks her finger in her throat, we have no bolemia in the family, the docs don't have any idea, has anyone else had this issue and any ideas for solutions? thank you so much.

My sister's little girl used to do the same thing - almost. At about 14 months she discovered gagging herself, which would sometimes lead to vomiting. A few months later (as I recall now) she began gagging (and sometimes vomiting) over the least little smell. Bathrooms especially - even the ones that smelled VERY clean and fresh. Trying new foods would also set this in motion.
As her daughter has gotton older it has faded to the point that she almost never gags, but with the exception of what adults usually consider bad or strong smells, and sometimes on the occasional new food.
She is now a happy, healthy 4 year old who appears "normal" in every way except that she is sensitive to very strong odors, bad ones or strong food odors that she doesn't recognize.
The only suggestions that I can offer is to keep a keen eye on her health and normal development. If everything else seems on par with her general age group and the gagging and vomiting doesn't get much worse then it is probably "just a phase" as was the case for my sister's girl. If you notice anything else kind of off kilter then seek help asap.
Just keep extra clothes, cleaning items and extra patience with you until this (probably) clears up on its own. Good luck to your sweet girl and you!!

My son did this twice. He's 18 months old and did this around 17 months. He did it once b/c we were trying to get him to eat, and 2 b/c he didn't want to go to sleep and was having a temper tantrum.
I don't think it's healthy that she vomits daily and you should see another doctor.
When we took him to the doctor we found that he had a slight infection in the throat and we were to keep him off dairy for 3 days and it worked.
I personally think, I am not a doctor, that something she's eating maybe isn't agreeing the best with her and she doesn't know how to express herself.
I myself was a baby like her, but they found out through testing that I had a problem with my diaphragm. Also, maybe you shouldn't put her right to bed after eating or have her run around. I think you should come up with some stuff for her to do with you while she digests her food. Hope this helps.

My neice has the same issues...It is not Bulimia, that is a disease that people use for weight control and I'm pretty sure your 18 month old isn't body conscious already...at least I'd hope not=)
Some kids just have touchy gag reflexes. Try keeping her food cut into small peices and don't assume she will gag...if she thinks you believe that she will gag when she trys the new food then she will because she will think it's yucky.
My neice is now 5 and the problem has almost completely stopped...but I still try to keep her calm when she cries because otherwise she will still vomit.

she definately has a strong gag reflex !!! My son who is 12 is somewhat like that, weak stomach. Always try to feed her when she is calm and relaxed, and not so hungry (or impatient) that she is crying. She should be eating "big people" food at this age and no canned food at all, except maybe fruit.Try not to make a big deal about it, because she is getting your attention by doing it. Let her clear the obstruction by herself (within reason of course) and try to ignore it. Good Luck

Have a bonfire on your exterior. it somewhat is a chilled, informal party to easily relax and function relaxing! -Roast marshmellows/warm canines -Play video games including conceal and seek for, kick the can, and so on. Have a spa social gathering. that's what I did for my twelfth b-day social gathering and it grew to become right into a blast! It grew to become into all domicile made and did no longer fee lots. in case you such as you should even get manicures. For my sister's birthday she had a pool social gathering, this can be relaxing with summer season. yet another thought could be going to work out a action picture, play or something and going out to dinner. satisfied twelfth BIRTHDAY! savour your social gathering! :)

you know it is probable a texture issue. and you might want to ask her doctor about an occupational therapy consult. they can help out with that. my daughter got an eval, as part of an effort with speech therapy. and the therapist said some kids have such bad texture issues that just seeing the food makes them throw up. it's worth a try.
