Answer #1

Mentally put this fact in your head - it’s part of being a parent or medical professional - an unpleasant task that MUST be done - like anything, there are pluses and minuses - sooner taken care of the better, you’ll be fine…Take care !!

Answer #2

yea I have a friend who also has this same phobia and takes anxiety medicine in order to deal with it. and I understand the exposure part and I have tried to do that for myslef multiple times. I have searched ‘vomit’ on the intenet and tried to look at it…I couldnt scroll down. lol I would NOT be able to watch it being done next to me

Answer #3

Keep looking at it. I know its disgusting, but seriously. Thats what undertakers do, they keep looking at dead bodies until they lose all fear of corpses

Answer #4

If the baby throws up or you have to deal with puke, I would just make my husband do it. I would go clean up the kid if the shirt has no puke on it and just leave my husband to do the cleaning!

leevan makes a lot of sense… when dealing with a phobia the best thing (and I’m guessing the only real thing) that works is exposure… the more you avoid the more you’re going to hate it and fear it and it will get worse… No one likes puke (if I hear or smell it then I want to throw up… luckily I dont want kids)… but it is something you’re going to have to get used to… I guess you could do this with a therapist… generally what they do is gradually expose you to the fear (so they ask you to picture in your head the least scary situation to the most scary situation, so for example the least would be a picture or whatever, and then maybe a movie? and the worst I guess would be someone throwing up next to you? and then gradually expose you to it while teaching you how to deal with it…)
