All or Nothing

The precious milk Blake spent the last 11 minutes drinking.
The precious milk Blake spent the last 11 minutes drinking.

There will be many, many times after a feed I try to burp Blake and I get nothing from her. Usually, I put her down after a minute of patting her back and if she ends up spitting up a little later, no big deal. First of all, the spit up milk in the picture doesn’t seem like a lot, but it’s because I was wearing most of it.

At 4:45AM this morning, she woke up for a feed and 11 minutes later, I tried burping her— nothing. That’s normal for us and I put her back in the crib. A couple minutes later I hear crying, I run over, pick her up and *burp!*, *splash!*. she brings up all the milk she spent the precious 11 minutes drinking. It’s all over her left arm (we are on our last clean sleeper), it’s down my back, my right upper leg, and knee down was soaked. Especially in between my toes. I had to close the bedroom door to prevent Loki, our dog from coming in to lick up sour milk. On the bright side, she was awake after this incident and I was able to change her super wet diaper.
