Perhaps I should have put this in the vent thread. We have been trying lumpier food today. And dinner this evening was possibly lumpier than usual and poor DD started to gag. I have never in all my life seen a human baby turn into a vomit volcano. Everything in her tummy including the full bottle she had at 3 this arvo came up like a fountain. She drenched herself, the highchair, me -including filling my open-toed sandals, the floor, and the dining room table. It even came out of her nose & made her eyes water. Poor little thing looked shocked rather than upset.
I actually stood for a full minute looking at the vomit strewn area without a clue what to do first.
Then my supermum (ta-dah!) instinct kicked in and I took DD and myself off to the bath which luckily was ready. The dog started cleaning the floor (ewwwwww!) but I couldn't do anything about that 'cos I could only deal with one thing at a time.
Well she's safely off to bed now, with more milk in her tummy, (went down OK thank goodness) and I'm still scrubbing the high chair. Isn't parenthood marvelous?

Hi Gonzi,

Just want to say that DH and I loved your story! So far the worst we've had to deal with is the odd sneeze with a mouthful, or the night she decided to make big fart noises with her lips while eating mashed potato - DH was banned from the kitchen because he couldn't stop laughing and I didn't want to encourage her.

Sorry about the cleaning up...

The funniest part came later when i insisted that DP help me pull the highchair vinyl bit off the frame to rinse it properly, and he kept complaining that his fingers now smelt of vomit. Boy did I give it to him! Fingers! Hurumph! My beautiful sandals, feet, legs and trousers smell of vomit! And don't let the dog breathe on you, for god's sake!
Sometimes I think rather than put a bib on DD, I should put a giant one on myself. We also get rasberry-blowing during dinner (when there's no projectile vomiting) and now the dog is DD's best friend -he sits happily at the foot of the highchair, waiting for food disasters.....
Ah, what larks!

HI,

I got a laugh from your story. The dog helping, how marvellous ! I gave my DD panadol yesterday as she seems to be teething and i must of given her the last amount too quickly she started to gag and did the projectile vomit. Rug, floor, my pants & her. I had the same feeling, what do i do first. Upon stripping bub and wiping the floor mother in law arrived for tea to me standing their with a naked baby & vomit all my black pants (very obvious) . Not a good look. But needless to say they give us plenty of laughs and stories to tell. !!
