It sounds like she had a belly ache and was constipated,that could be the reason for the spitting and pooping she did yesterday.I have done Pediatric NICU and Peds ICU for 37 years and the comment above is very rare and other things are usually why they spit. It could be what I said above, which is most likely it.It could be reflux, ( a immature stomach muscle they grow out of ),which you can treat by keeping her upright for at least 45 min post each feed in an infant seat, carseat ,or you can elevate the head of her crib . It could be formula but try to elevate her after each feed . You may need to burp her every 1/2 ounce which is very easy to try. If they get an air bubble in their tummy then more formula on top when they burp up comes the formula .The serious projectile vomiting occuring at 6 wweks of age is rare, and you would know it ,it is a shooting stream of formula and it would be a Large or the full amt you fed her,SO please do not even think this at this point. Relax ,burp her every 1/2 onunce and elevate her head post feed as a nurse those are my suggestions. You may be over feeding her if you are waking her every three hours and she spits up ,this means she is not digesting this amt. in that time period, and may need to go four hours. Call your Dr if you are concernd or call me I would be glad to ans. your questions .you are a great Mommy and doing a great job.This is going to be a blog to read and sure to be funny.

I am not good anymore. I can't wait to read the posts when she tries to eat her own food. Those will be soooo funny.<br />On a serious note: don't change anything unless the pediatrician recommends it and if the projectile vomit lasts more than 24 hours, it is of great concern. Usually first born girls are very subjectable around 6/9 weeks of age with projectile vomit and may need a small procedure to stop. It apparently is NOT rare, my 2nd born son had it and I remember like it was yesterday. Babies dehydrate so quickly so don't wait too long. These blog can't be quite helpful in documenting all the changes that someone who has children (or gone through it) can tell you what to watch for. So I guess you found a way to get that manual after all, LOL. Computer age is so awesome.<br />Please don't panic, but it is just easier than what I went through. It really sounds more like a formula change is needed maybe talking to the doctor and going on Iron fortified will help the fountain slow down. If the projectile continues just document it with the pediatrician and they may want to keep track of her weight. Don't feed any extra water - formula only. Do you have the gas drops? You can give them at every feed and it is pediatrician recommended<br />Keep the blogs coming, they are so rewarding to read - the memories are just swimming back and makes me want another baby (but, I am done).<br />Love and blessings, DianeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757273551353259279.post-79030058835100796272010-06-23T10:54:12.908-04:002010-06-23T10:54:12.908-04:00Meant to say, this post was better than the show, ...Meant to say, this post was better than the show, 24 HOURS.
