We've had a lot of them this past week. Earlier this week we were sitting in the glider in the nursery and Justin threw up all over me. Not once, but 4 times. It was so much that it totally soaked my clothes, underwear and the glider. Thursday he threw up 5 times but it came out of no where. Usually I can tell when he's getting ready to throw up but not Thursday night. I was sitting in the bed, Justin was in my lap and I was on the computer and all of a sudden he throws up. Luckily it missed the laptop, but not the sheets that I HAD just changed. I yell downstairs to Carl that Justin's throwing up and its projectile and he starts laughing and goes into the basement to put some sheets in the washer since we had no more clean sheets. Last night Justin threw up 4 times. Fortunately this time I knew it was coming so we avoided having to change the sheets again.
But needless to say I don't think the Prevacid is working. Justin's throwing up so much and his desire to eat is still pretty much hit or miss. Dr. Hirsch mentioned that Justin may have an oral aversion and that could be a reason why he doesn't seem to want to eat. We discussed this concern with Early On yesterday so that should be another area they focus on when Justin starts therapy. But on a whim I decided to introduce a sippy cup the other day, just to see how he took to it and it went pretty well. It's a lot more messy, but he actually does much better taking his formula from the sippy cup than the bottle.
Hopefully someone will help to figure out and control the spitting up soon..
ReplyDeleteA sippy cup??!! That is so cool; Justin is becoming more of a big boy everyday. :-)
Don't let Justin know that Dr. Hirsch thinks he has an oral aversion. He seems to like putting his fingers in his mouth (March 1 shot). Now if you could figure out a way to put formula and food on his fingers.... in addition to using the sippy cup maybe he'll stop the spit ups (lol).
