For example: Last Friday, I washed all of Chezney's clothes. Later that night, as I was folding them in the 20 minutes I was taking...We went through 2 burp cloths. Soaked burp cloths...not just a little wet. Soaked. On Sunday, I had to change Chez into 5, yes 5 different outfits. Each one of the old outfits was completely dripping with throw up before I changed it, it wasn't like she would get a little barf on her shirt and I would change it. I could see her belly button through her clothes and then I would change them. I feel like a bad mom sometimes that appears like I don't care about my baby, but I am so exhausted and tired of throw up..I just can't keep up with her. I try. But literally...I change her and then 41 seconds later...the new shirt is drenched again.
I realized on Friday evening when my spray and wash was gone, that I went through 166 ounces in 2 1/2 weeks. I have to spray everything good or else it stains and then ruins clothes and why throw away perfectly good clothes. To spray one load of Chezney's clothes takes me 15 minutes. It's perfectly pathetic. I hate it. (I went through all of those burp clothes in 2 1/2 days)
So I did all of her laundry (her blankets, her 22 burp cloths and her clothes) on Friday. This was what Saturday and Sunday brought. I did this laundry on Monday. It is seriously exhausting.Aspyn spit up. It doesn't hold a prayer to Chezney, but Aspyn did throw up. It took Aspyn 9 freaking months to stop. So I have another 5 more months of hell. Serious. If our next kid throws up like Chez. We are DONE. PERIOD. END. FINISHED.

Lacey, Cambri was the exact same way. Loads of spit would come out every time! We went through at least 3-5 outfits a day and mounds of burp cloths & blankies too. I totally feel your pain! My cousins baby was even worse than that. You might want to get her checked out? The opening to her stomach could not be closing all the way and causing it to come back up. That's what was up with my cousins baby. Is she on acid reflux meds?
As for the laundry, I have a homemade spray n'wash recipe that works wonders on basically everything. Baby poop. Gone. Tyler comes home with cow poop and who knows what cuz we know how our hubby's are...gone. It seriously is amazing! Love it! All you do is add 1 c. water, 1 c. cheap dishwashing soap like joy or something like that, the cheap kind seems to work best, but sometimes I use dawn. and then 1 c. ammonia. Mix it together in one of your old spray n' wash bottles and have at your cloths. On the bad stains, just spray then scrub a little. It stinks to high heaven cuz of the ammonia (I'm immune to it now-can't smell it), but lasts me longer and is MUCH CHEAPER (Like $.50 for a whole bottle) to make. Good luck! Hopefully she grows out of it soon. :)
I hear you! ALL of my kids were the exact same way. Nothing I could do about it. We kept a blanket on our couch at all times so the kids wouldn't ruin it. It usually got better around 8-9 months. Crazy. They gained weight. It didn't stop that. Lyla was on acid reflux meds, but it didn't help the throwing up, it did make her happier though. For our family it wasn't a medical problem, it was a laundry problem. Hang in there and
