I was prepared for the explosive poop. I was prepared to be peed on. I was prepared for the spitting up, the sleepless nights, and the consoling a crying baby. I was prepared for a lot with this little boy. I was not prepared for the projectile vomit.
This little boy can launch a whole feeding all of himself and me. And he does this on a pretty regular basis. Everyday this week in fact. Twice today. Lovely. We've had him checked out with our pediatrician. He isn't losing weight and he isn't irritated by it. He's often happier after he throws up. We even had an ultrasound done to see if there was something wrong with his tummy. Luckily that came back negative and there is no surgery in our future. For right now, we're keeping a pretty close watch on him to see how things go. Maybe it's a food sensitivity or maybe acid reflux. Maybe he'll just grow out of it. But until he does I'm not getting ready for the day until after I've been thrown up on.
Any mommies out there have any tips on dealing with projectile vomit?

Poor little thing!!! And he can still smile through it all!!! He learns that from his parents:)
Love the smile when he's done!
Looks like he's going to keep that washing machine going day and night, Alisha.
landon threw up every single feeding but the doctor said since he was gaining weight and he didn't seem upset, i shouldn't worry about it. he eventually grew out of it once solid food came into play but let me just tell you...we gave away our first couch and we laughed as we walked away because the new owners had NO idea how much throw up that couch has had on it!
