And that is exactly why Parentopia is so awesome. Call for them, and they hear you from across the vast Internets, and they come and assure you that you are in fact, a good parent. Thanks again Devra and Aviva!

Okay, so I got here after the puke got cleaned up, which is exactly what I do at home when our kids puke. You see, I have an empathetic epiglottis. Now that I am here though, I will say Aviva answered the call far quicker when this post orginated on Elizabeth’s blog because Aviva can handle puke way better than me! If I were a more talented blogger I would be able to figure out how to do a trackback, but here is the link with Aviva’s Mommy Guilt absolution for Elizabeth! http://table4five.net/2007/09/12/morning-puke-equals-mommy-guilt/

wow, that’s a really tough one. I remember when CJ was little I would obsessively check on him, peeking around the corner and hoping he couldn’t see me, because we had one or two of the puking incidents ourselves. It’s a hard call. If you want to check on her regularly, can you orient her crib so you can see her without her seeing you?? Hang in there… it DOES get better as they get older!

I’d definitely stick with the plan you’ve got, especially if it’s (generally) working!

I can’t even remember what I’d do! It’s been so long since I had a baby in a crib. Dawson sleeps with us!

Thanks so much for guest posting, Elizabeth! I really appreciate it so much!

I’m with Dawn. If she’s so aware of her own diaper situation, clearly this wasn’t that big a deal to her. I know puke isn’t spitting up, but I’m always amazed that spitting up doesn’t even register with babies — it’s like they don’t even realize they’ve done it.

Thank god we outgrow this, eh?

If it bugged her she would have yelled for you more, she must not have been too phased by it, she might have even done it in her sleep…

Such a tough one for you. I’d still go with the plan you’ve got in place. Really, how often will a quiet cry resulting in puke? I’m thinking no more than one per child. But that’s just me.
