Oh dear, Em had her first projectile vomiting episode tonight. After her night bottle, she did a small spew (one handful caught by the hubby) and then when I breastfed her after that, she did the "Merlion". Poor thing, it was as if the whole bottle she'd just taken came right out of her belly.
After changing her pj's and the sheets, I thought I'd feed her again because surely she must be hungry and/or thirsty after that, I know I would be. What a bad decision that was because she did a second vomit which seemed to be even more than the first one!
Poor girl, only a couple of whimpers and she was smiling again. What a trooper!
Which baffled me, because she wasn't showing any other symptoms like diarrhea or a temperature, so it didn't seem like gastric flu. The only reason we could think of was that she might be overfed so her little belly was too full. Greedy guts probably drank her bottle too quick without realizing she wasn't hungry anymore.
Anyway, 4 pj's and 2 change of sheets later, all seems good now. Didn't have any further spewing incidents after that so that's a relief!
