Overfeeding my enthusiastic eater caused her to vomit

Sweet potato and banana seemed to aggravate my daughter's sensitive system. She vomited the entire contents of her stomach in her crib during nap. She is a constant eater and I mistakenly let her eat too much of her solids and then she nursed to sleep. Her belly was over-filled and I believe that's what caused her to vomit.

Cereal works best for her reflux, but then she is constipated and gassy. The happy medium we have found recently is to mix cereal with steamed pears or prune juice. Frequent smaller meals has helped as well as keeping her upright after eating. Another biggie has been to not feed her cereal within 1-2 hours of bedtime or naps. During the day I feed her solids when she wakes up from a nap. Since she nurses to sleep, this also helped space out feedings--nursing before sleep, solids when waking.
