Baby Throwing Up

My baby is 8 months old and she eats solids and formula. Once in a while she throws up before bed, I've talked to her doctor and she said that its no big deal, she also has NO bug.. So my question is, is this normal for babies to do? or is it something I'm feeding her, cause my doc is not concearned at all, she said my baby has no food allergies..But I'm concearned, cause after she throws up she wants her bottle and eats it all up and falls asleep, I'm wondering if I should just feed her from the table instead of baby food and give her cows milk instead of formula (I've read some babies are sensitive to things that formulas and baby foods contain) (by the way she has no teeth yet) (she poops a lot too ;)

What can I do next?

I would NOT give her cow's milk. I would try a different formula. I would try Alimentin (spelling?). It's expensive, but it's pre-digested cow's milk. It's possible your baby has a dairy sensitivity, not an allergy. She will likely outgrow this though.

I don't use baby food. I use the food processor and just give my baby what we are eating, unless it's spicy.

God gave us great intuition so trust yourself. You know your child and you see exactlly what goes on. Maybe try a second or third opinion. Good luck, I am sure it is so frustrating.

I would do an elimation diet, every couple days take ONE thing away that she normally has daily and no different foods at all and see when the throwing up stops. I would personally not switch her to cows milk if she has been okay on the formally so far but i would switch to organic baby cereals and make your own baby food by blanching or steeming veggies and getting a food processer and blending them up completly or little chunky depending on what stage your baby is on and just blend up fruits

my kids hated the jared baby food..by 8 months they were off formula completely-actually by 3 months...its just so nasty-but if you go this route make sure you have a good multivitamin to supplement...
