Why are we born with that anyways? I wish Alexandra didn't figure out that reflex the way she has. Lately she has taken to gagging to get the binkie out of her mouth if she does not want it. The problem with that is inevitably she will wind up tossing her cookies about 10-20 seconds later. When this happens she usually sleeps very soundly afterwards as her little body is working hard with all that activity. We have been told that this is ok just so long as she keeps gaining weight. Visibly we can see that she is growing still so we are staying optimistic.
We have been lucky that Annellice does not partake in these gagging activities; however, she has started the typical baby spit-up phase (about the size of a quarter whenever the mood strikes her). The only time this creates a problem is if she gets twisted around in the crib while sleeping b/c then it winds up and weird places and we are left wondering whether it it spit-up of leaky diapers (either way we still have to change the bed linens).
