not this cute anymore!However, in the past week, Simon has developed a terrible eating disorder. He chows down a bottle, burps like a champ and then just when you think feeding time is over, he shoves his entire fist down his throat and throws up. This is not spit up, people.. this is the whole enchilada. A burp cloth won't clean up this kind of mess. He is seriously making himself puke so he can eat more. He's a full-blown bulimic baby.
Daddy was fortunate enough to experience Simon's self-induced vomiting while I was visiting a friend yesterday. I was so glad he now understands what I go through on a daily basis. Aaron doesn't think he's bulimic... if he was nursing it would be a different story, but what baby gags themselves for more formula? I don't think Aaron understands how serious eating disorders can be. Some babies will do whatever it takes to get rid of a few fat rolls....

So Andrew wasn't the only bulimic baby boy then. That is exactly what he did. And he kept doing it for years. Often on car rides he'd put his fingers down his throat and puke all over himself. Now if I ever force him to eat anything, like broccoli last night, and he doesn't like it he can make himself throw it up. It is terrible. Hopefully Simon will get over his bulimia quicker than Andrew!
That's so funny. I started calling Lincoln my bulimic baby just last week. He's been doing the same thing. But only since the switch from my homemade milk to formula!Boo. They should make formula with different flavors so we can mix it up for the kiddos.
