Note to Self Regarding Babies & Handbags....

ModelMom's picture

Never let a baby who has drunk an eight ounce bottle of formula and bounced on your lap for 10 minutes straight lean over your open purse unless you want to smell like curdled milk or have to retire your bag for eternity.

Lesson learned this afternoon at the park. I had to fish my car keys out of a swampy mess at the bottom of my purse....baby girl leaned over to grab something out of my open bag and released the floodgates of spit-up into every pocket and crevice of my favorite bag. Motherhood is fabulous beyond description. Let me tell you.

That is wicked funny!

And gross too! And I'm impressed that baby girl is eating 8 oz! That's awesome!

Mine is still eating only a few oz at a time. She's never eaten 8 oz at once.

read me!

I jump for joy at 8 oz. Brenna!

Let me tell you....it is a rarity that she drinks an actual "normal" serving for her age. Which is why I was even more upset that she lost half of it into my purse instead of deposting it into her cheeks and thighs! :-P She ranges on average from 5-7 oz. per bottle, 4 bottles a day. Sometimes she'll only take 4. She is definitely eating better than a few months ago but I wouldn't say great because it is still a struggle most days. She always stops after 2-3 oz and wants a break that can last up to 15 minutes before she finishes up. I don't know what to make of it b/c her brother was never like that. He was a gulper and ate like a dream. I am having anxiety over what her eating will be like as a toddler if she is already this much of a little bird. Doc doesn't seem to think it's a problem although recently she's developed a rash on her cheeks & chin but he says it's a drool rash b/c she's teething.....but it still makes me paranoid. If it doesn't go away soon I'll take her to the ped. derm like we did with our son when nobody else believed that he had eczema (doctors kill me sometimes). His diet wasn't restricted but now I am starting to read a lot more that foods may trigger eczema after all......oy vey.....I hope she doesnt get it too.....

Hey this brought back memories

I can remember this exact thing happening with a diaper bag full of stuff. It was really nasty. But they are your pride and joy, so you suck it up and move on, lol.
