THINGS I LEARNED FROM MY BABY: PART 2
Two weeks have gone by already. The baby is getting used to breast feeding. Mother and baby are well acquainted. The baby loves to chomp and guzzle down milk.A sure sign of a mother is the white dribble that stains the back of her shirt.
After eating too quickly the baby throws up some of its food. The reason why the baby throws up the food is because it has eaten too quickly.
"Baby, if you paced yourself you would have kept more of the milk. Baby, had you paced yourself you would have preserved more sustenance."
When lots of milk is coming your way, don't be greedy. Slow down. Take it in slowly. When you take it in slowly it will than be digestible. If you get too greedy you will throw it all up.
Our economic state is a result of chomping down copious amounts of milk. Quantities of milk we couldn't handle, we are now vomiting it out. [A good video explaining that very clearly http://is.gd/kb3X/the-crisis-of-credit-visualized I recommend you watch it]
Think: The farmer who killed the goose with the golden eggs.
When milk is coming your way, slow down to digest. When money is coming your way, slow down to digest. Otherwise you will find yourself vomiting it out.

With regards to the milk coming out too fast...that could be, in that case this article wouldn't apply.
However, with regards to the babies' digestive system not being fully developed... a lesson is still forthcoming :-). When people get sudden windfalls that they are not yet adequately prepared for, they will spit it up.
There are other reasons why the baby spits up, one of them is that they have eaten too much. Which is what this article is based on. http://is.gd/qsqv/why-babies-spit-up
Thanks so much for commenting! Keep em coming.
Just a note in defense of baby, it's not the baby eating too quickly that is the usual cause for spit up. There could be many reasons, but usually it's because the milk comes too fast--not something mother or baby can know off the bat or control. Babies' digestive systems are also not fully developed especially early on so reflux and spit up occurs more often.
Hope you are doing well.
Love,
