I've mentioned before how much Charlie spits up. He doesn't usually seem uncomfortable when he's doing it, and he appears to be gaining weight well (and making enough dirty and wet diapers) so I'm not too concerned about it. As one breastfeeding website says, "It's a laundry problem, not a health one." On days when he seems a bit more fussy than usual (like today for instance) his spit up does seems a bit worse and I'm trying to make sure he gets lots of opportunities to burp when feeding. I'm also trying to keep him more upright while nursing and to keep him upright for at least 20-30 minutes after eating (I love the Baby K'Tan "hug" position for this. These things all help, but don't completely solve the problem. Good thing I'm doing laundry everyday! :) Also, Gerber cloth diapers used as burp cloths are lifesavers for a baby who spits up.
We are still receiving so many fun gifts from family and friends and our friend Abby inadvertently gave the perfect gift the other day - bibs! Our little guy should get used to wearing these since Mommy is tired of changing his clothes 18 times a day (which is also torture for a baby that hates getting naked!)
