"Purging isn't effective at getting rid of calories, which is why most people suffering with bulimia end up gaining weight over time. Vomiting immediately after eating will only eliminate 50% of the calories consumed at best - and usually much less. This is because calorie absorption begins the moment you put food in the mouth."
I'm hoping my baby is getting the nutrients it needs but sometimes I just have to barf. Am I still consuming enough calories by waiting as long as I possibly can?

I don't think that's correct. The majority (like 95%) of GI absorption happens in the small and large intestines. That takes about 2-3 hrs to travel from the stomach to the intestines, and even longer than that when prego and digestion slows down significantly. Plus, when you vomit you sometimes vomit up intestinal stuff as well. Sorry.
