did not know your gal back to sleep with you! sigh now am not even considering moving my boy out of my room yet..... coz i have noticed that he will copy the actions of his younger brother just to get our attention! imagine #1 crawling all around the house screaming! :s

poor gal! consider less latching time but more frequently to help ease the hunger. easier for baby to digest too.... coz when they are down with flu they don know how to sneeze out only swallow all the phlegm and mucus.
plus point to bad experience...
vomit also is good though it looks very painful (i too cried many nights over this). help bring out the phlegm in the stomach. better breathing after each vomit session.

don give up.
bfing is something good, and all this will be fond memories in time to come.
now as to why baby finishes up bottle after latching... here is my 2 cents worth
as with the bottle and why he finishes it, could be that there is a constant flow and not coz he is drinking for food. i remember this instance when my cl insisted that baby was hungry but not crying just because baby finished all the milk in the bottle even after latching (insisted that my milk supply was not good even though i could easily pump out 100mls each time- logic is that the milk was too watery). after 15mins baby vomited all the milk out as he was overfed! as long as there is a teat, baby will suck.
only diff is that they can stop milk flow if its on your breast but not for the bottle.
