Right now daddy is in Sloane's room with the door closed trying to feed her while I am out in the living room trying not to cry my eyes out! I read that if i'm where i can be seen or heard she could refuse the bottle. Writing this blog is my distration, before this I picked out pictures for the new frames we got for the living room.
I am going to leave mat with a dropper, a spoon and a sippy cup tomorrow cause I've read those are other ways to feed a baby that refuses a bottle. If going back to work when Sloane is only 9 weeks old isn't stressful enough, her refusing a bottle is just adding to my anxiety!
** Later that night we gave up, gave her a bath and put her in her bumpo seat for the first time. She watched an entire episode (25 minutes) of Blues Clues, eyes glued to it while sitting happily in her bumpo!**
Parenthood can be hard but all the fun things make it 1000x worth it!
What kind of struggles have you faced and how did you ge through them?
is she holding her head up on her own?
ReplyDeleteis she holding her head up on her own?
ReplyDeleteYup, she is really good at holding her head up. We need to work on actually doing tummy time though cause she needs to be able to lift herself up with her arms and roll over.
DeleteOur Dr also told us that if Matt wears a piece of your clothing like your robe ... might work. I know it sounds crazy but your scent is on your clothes ans they said it doesn't hurt to try. Good luck tomorrow!
