We've come across yet another little hurdle in the land of Babyhood. Miss Mya has decided that she absolutely will not be drinking out of a bottle. No way, no how! Life was good up until Wednesday. I "thought" it would be a good idea to introduce formula to her. I "thought" it would be easier on me if I could just have Matt give her formula instead of me stressing about having enough milk pumped. BAD IDEA!!! She screamed and refused to drink from the bottle. It was from that point on that she has screamed at the mere sight of a bottle. She won't even take a bottle with breastmilk! On Friday, she went 5 hours without eating because I was at work. Matt tried and tried but had no luck! Boy was she a hungry little lady when mommy got home. She latched right on and drank and drank and drank! I thought I was so clever because I slipped the bottle into her mouth and she actually drank from the bottle..... Mission Accomplished! WRONG! We tried again tonight and no luck! Do you think it will work if daddy latches her on and quickly switches to the bottle? Is that wrong?
Tomorrow Mimi Rey will be watching her while I go to work. Everyone keeps saying, "She'll eat if she's hungry!" I'm not so sure. She went 5 hours without food last week! I will cross my fingers and pray for success. Mimi Rey may have the special Grandma touch... I can only hope!
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!
