Spewed on in public
up until now, our little guy has been remakably able to hold his food down. I was expecting him to “Posset” like most newborns do.. but it would appear that, much like his Dad, he has a love of food and a desire to keep it where it should be. Until yesterday. Yesterday.. he decided that the best place for his first really big spew was a shopping center. the best position was over Mum’s shoulder, and the bonus was that I was wearing a knitted long black jumper. I never realized how pale baby spew was until I saw it down my back and all over my sleeve! Luckily an older lady saw my horrified look and rushed over to help mop me up. She gave me a look as if to say “”You should have seen this coming” but was very helpful none the less. Unfortunately this was just as much of a surprise to the little guy as it was to me!
It was a kind of baptism by spew I guess! Eeeww.
Julia, didn’t anyone tell you that’s in the “How to be a baby” handbook? Always throw up at the most inconvenient time in front of as many people as possible and on something that’s not going to hide it. If you’d been wearing a cream jumper it never would have happened.
I’d bet the lady was sympathetic and the look was more of a “been there” one.
Every mum can relate. My son once did that to me in a restaurant - that’s worse! Talk about putting people off their dinner.
