he is so sad today, and it's breaking my heart! he's pretty much either been eating, crying, or sleeping all day today, and i want my happy boy back but don't know how to find him! beckam is a formula baby now, and he's been doing really good on this new liquid concentrate similac brand, and since it's free for me down here, i've been lovin life :) yesterday though, he decided to pretty much spit up his whole bottle after he ate, and he wasn't happy about it. i mean, i wouldn't be either really - kinda gross. he ate good through the night but then spit up a ton again this morning and his last feeding. i can deal with babies spitting up - i've become fairly pro at catching it actually and keeping their outfits spit up free - but i feel so helpless when beck's little tummy is upset, and his face is just so sad, and it's just not fun :(
i'm not sure what's gotten into him or if he's just sick or if he's suddenly developed an allergy to milk or what, but i want to help him and don't know how today! i'm sure he'll be better tomorrow or even later on tonight, but i just had to vent about being a helpless mom with a super cute but very sad baby today.
(i still love being a mom though - there are no words to describe how much i love my little guy, spit up or not!)

i can completely sympathize with you... i think i spelled both of those words wrong.. anyway. you are doing a great job, i know you are! just keep up the good work... and hopefully his little belly will feel better soon.
I hate sad babies, it just breaks your heart and makes you want to pull your hair out all at the same time! I am here for ya if you need any help. Of course I wasn't around when you needed help today, I was out while you were heping me. HA HA HA, but seriously I am always just a phone call away!
Poor little Beckam! I know how you feel, it's totally sad when you feel like you can't do anything for your crying baby. Hang in there, and I hope he feels better soon!
isn't that one of the hardest things about being a mom? He knows you love him and that you're THERE. That's what's most important.
Sounds like my daughter as a newborn. She would spit up more than normal after every time she ate and was very gassy & cranky.
We figured out early on that she was Lactose intolerant and had relux. So we switched formulas to Enfamil Lactose Free formula and Playtex Tri-flow bottle nipples that prevented her from drinking too quickly. And when she was about a month old we started adding a little bit of Heinz Rice Cereal to thicken it up so she could keep it down better. It made for a much happier little girl. Sad babies are never fun. Good luck.
