As we were out for a while, I missed my solid feed at 3pm and my milk feed at 5pm. All the better, mama thought, cos it would mean more appetite for my dinner. So at 6pm, when she settled me down on my high chair, I miraculously took abt 20 bb spoonfuls of alphabet pasta! Ecstatic, she thought she might as well offer me 25-50ml of PediaSure to round off the meal so that I could sleep well if I went to bed with a full stomach. So she prepared a small cup of chocolate chilled PediaSure, that I liked so much I lapped it all up. I looked alright, had no reactions on my face, and was happily tottering around the living room.

Three minutes later came the coughs. Out came the first round of puke, a small puddle of brown liquidy stuff. Okay, not too bad. Perhaps the milk was too cold for me, so mama would just have to remember to serve it warm the next time round. A few minutes later came the cries. I was stipped off my clothes then, as I was getting ready for my bath. I wouldn't stop crying or clutching my stomach though, so mama figured that the milk must be starting to make my stomach churn. By then, rashes were starting to appear on my trunk and face. Solution: bathe, Zrytec, latch-on, and sleep immediately lest the pain/itch worsen.

Unfortunately, I started to squirm and cough after mama had breastfed me and out came the second round of puke, which consisted of about 1/4 of my pasta dinner. Okay, not too bad since I ate quite a lot and must have digested the rest, or so my mama thought. I was quickly changed but kept on crying still, and then came the third and most horrid round of puke, which consisted of the rest of my pasta dinner. I was lying on my back and crying when it happened, totally unprepared. I was crying very hard when the puke roared out of my mouth onto my face, eyes and hair. Since I was lying on my back, a big portion of the puke fell back into my mouth, making me choke and cry even harder. It was such a messy sight that mama had to drag me off to bathe again. Okay, this can't get any worse, or so she comforted herself, cos at least the puke was not whitish, and I might have digested my milk. She was wrong, cos next up was the fourth round of white milkish puke. Another change of clothes and by then, the crying had ceased. I was slumping around listlessly on the bed, but couldn't get to sleep yet. So mama offered me some water to cleanse my puke-filled mouth. I was very very very thirsty and took many hungry sips. Okay, nothing wrong with this, until my stomach decided to protest and urghhhhh I just had to puke a fifth time, this time round everything was clear liquid. Who would have thought that I would even have the propensity to puke water?!?

Anyway, I've been snoozing for the past three hours. Mama just fed me a small amt of milk. All's well so far. She intends to offer me another small feed in 1/2 hrs time. Hopefully I won't be coughing and regurgitating anymore tonight.
