“Don’t worry about a thing, cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Rise up this mornin, smiled with the risin sun, three little birds
pitch by my doorstep, singin sweet songs of melodies pure and true…”
Bob Marley, Three Little Birds
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?”
Matthew 6:25
Jenny, this might be really random coming from me, but we had a similar problem with a 3 month-old baby that started at our daycare center. He did the exact same thing, took a few gulps, pushed it away, but then acted like he wanted it the whole time. His mom said he needed a premature nipple for his bottle, and it worked. He can drink a bottle now without taking so many random breaks. Maybe that would help?

I was wondering about bottles too...have you tried different ones? I remember with K that it took a few trials to find one that she liked. After that, have you thought about allergies (gluten, milk, soy, etc)? I know that one is a pain to think about, so I would try the bottles / nipples first. Good luck. Very trying and frustrating.
ReplyDeleteNow I don't have a baby or anything but to me it looks like she pushes it away when she looks like she's gagging on it. We all know your gag reflex that Charlotte received and so I concur with the above statements and think you should try to find a really small nipple of the bottle? My uneducated opinion, anyway. She's still totally cute, though!
ReplyDeleteOoh my guess is the nipple on the bottle or that she's not hungry? Do you feed her by the clock or her cue? If it's by the clock I would maybe stop and wait for her to ask for it (guessing you've probably already thought of it this though).
ReplyDeleteOkay...she did not feed like that with me. Remember? She was totally relaxed and calm. I think she like me!
ReplyDeleteShe seemed to like a sitting up position when I had her. Also...I did not warm up her milk like you do. I just used warm water. So...maybe it's too hot?????
Sorry sweetie, no clue. but I know you will figure it out and be of tremendous help to some mother you meet someday who is having the same problem. Love you. Can't wait for Thanksgiving to hold the squirmy little one.
