Get The Baby Book Out – Adam’s First Ear Infection!

So he has been coughing for a few days.  And then on Thursday I noticed he was batting at his ear.  So off to the GP on Friday morning.

Yup, slight ear infection, but much more concerned about the dry croupy cough.  So he has Amoxocillian.  Which smells vile and, I imagine, tastes worse based on his reaction.

I also set a new ‘mummy must change her clothes record’ on Friday.  You see, if he just does a bit of spit or saliva on my shoulder, I don’t bother to change.  But on Friday we had: –

  1. A pooh that went all the way up his back and when I was twisting him to get it all, rubbed it onto my shirt.  New shirt.
  2. A major spit up.  Not really a vomit, but enough that I felt damp. New shirt.
  3. Another major spit up. New shirt.
  4. Vomit.  Major major vomit.  Like a whole bottles worth. On me, himself, the sofa and the floor. Gave up on shirts, put on my PJs.
  5. Major major vomit 2.  New PJs.

Simon was home for that last one.  He kindly got me a towel. 🙂

He’s been much better today, all smiles and not batting at his ear as much, so I do believe he is feeling better.

And now, my most recommended baby accoutrement:  The Eezimed Baby Syringe.

  1. I so know the routine for this one- Jonah is on his second set of tubes. As a babe he would get over one and two days later get another. They suffer so the poor mites!
