Brielle...
she throws up...
everywhere...
all of the time...
no...
that is not true...
not "everywhere"...
but...
rather...
ALL OVER ME!
I am sooooooooooooo over this.
There was a time, over the course of the past few weeks, when I actually thought that I might have post-partum depression. I googled "post-partum depression" and the results looked rather familiar. It was on a weekend so I couldn't call my doctor. I was over my "depression" by Monday. I think I was just overwhelmed... go figure.
Life is better now. Just today I was thinking... 6 weeks - I just need to get me babies to 6 weeks and everything is fine (we are just past 7 weeks now). But, there is one... lingering... issue... that is getting worse and worse - Brielle throws up frequently and she just drenches me and herself every time. Imagine having 1-2 cups of warm baby curdled milk thrown in your lap at a moments notice every-single-day... and multiple times a day... it is tiring... and I am so over it.
Yes, we give her Zantac. No, this does not seem to cause Brielle discomfort. But, it is getting worse and now she doesn't even throw up just when I burp her... she'll also throw up while she is curled up in my lap nursing. Imagine that... there I sit, happily nursing my daughter and I get a cup of vomit all over my boob, my baby, and my lap. Blech! She is throwing up so much milk and so frequently that I can't imagine that much of it is getting into her system.
Someone please tell me that this has happened to you and that it will go away. It will go away, won't it?

I'm sorry! That sounds stressful....:( Is she nursed exclusively?
Yes, it happened with my last baby. I feel your pain. He wasn't fussy and the Zantac didn't seem to help either, but I was covered in warm milk after each feeding (breast or bottle- no difference). As long as she's growing I wouldn't worry about it. Our doctor only become alarmed when Nolan stopped gaining. Once we began solid food the spitting up slowed and finally stopped altogether about 6months. Hope this helps.
@ Mrs. Bird - yes, it is a bit stressful... on many levels... she is breatfeeding exclusively... {{ripping my hair out}}
@ 24/7 - Glad to know that I'm not the only mom to go through this and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Forget burp cloths... I have resorted to carrying a towel around with me... and I'm actually serious.
