What counts as projectile vomiting?
"Phoebe & Allyson" wrote in message ... I think this doesn't, but... We nursed, I stood Caterpillar up on my lap to see if she'd burp, and at least an ounce (measured by the "pour water on the counter until it looks like the same amount" method) of milk just shot out of her. Most of it landed within a foot of her, but some went as much as two feet (and some of that splashed farther). More ivory-colored than the white unswallowed milk is, but no green streaks or blood or anything. She seemed perfectly happy, and still does. Phoebe -- yahoo address is unread - substitute mailbolt I get that after almost all Liam's feeds and it used to happen my other children also! I always figured it was just posseting and just that his burp was trapped behind unswallowed milk. Liam has another case of sniffles now and is full of mucous so a couple of times today his regular posseting had little green bits of mucous too! Lovely!! -- Marie Mum to DD born March '98, DS#1 born Nov '99 and DS#2 born Aug '03 This email address doesn't exist anymore Please reply on ng or if you know me you know my email address! |

Want to take a shot at defining, so that we word freaks can have a precise meaning? Dawn |

Want to take a shot at defining, so that we word freaks can have a precise meaning? Dawn We Aussies call it possetting on occasion ... synonyms a spit-up, spew, spillage, burp-juice etc ... just the little amounts of curdled milk that some babies regurgitate after a bf - but not a vomit as such (almost no change of expression in their little faces, no crying, no great alarm, and it doesn't smell nearly as bad). DD used to do it all the time but grew out of it eventually (around 6-7 mo I think). Actually, to reply to Phoebe - DD did this series of *huge* spit-ups one day (much bigger than normal anyway). This was at 1-2 months old and it was the way I found out DD couldn't tolerate me eating chilli. I can eat chillies and curries again now without such dramatic effects. Amanda |

It just means the normal vomitting after feeds in newborns. It's listed here. http://www.raisingkids.co.uk/ask/ex01_bab08.asp Mitch |

Based on the rest of her day (which included several more typical spitups, a mucousy green diaper, and a watery green diaper), it was probably the sip of Mocha Frappucchino I'd had at lunch. :P Phoebe -- yahoo address is unread - substitute mailbolt |

Naturally, it didn't happen until ds was already eating solids. Lovely projectiles going about 10' across the room! I got lucky - I got the job of cleaning up ds, while dh got to clean the room...
