How confident are you that it is possible to differentiate something significant (vomiting) from something that should be delayed? Is it hard to differentiate between different types of cries?
I can distinguish a few different cries, at least with my own kids. With Nora (15m) right now the two clearest are a complaining half-asleep cry where she’s very likely to go back to sleep on her own if I leave her and pain cries which are very different and much more urgent feeling. With the older two (6y and 8y) there’s again a pretty big difference between “I’m objecting” cries (I didn’t get my way in a game, my sister pushed me, etc) and “I’m in real pain and want help” cries (fell down badly, stubbed toe, etc).
