When baby refuses to take a bottle
Baby Girl wants to eat on everything she gets her hands on. The only thing she doesn’t want anywhere near her mouth these days is her bottle. She much prefers her dresses, tights or toys. Anything goes as long as it’s not the bottle.
I’m putting it down to the fact that she’s very conscious about eating locally-sourced produce. It must be the latest fad she follows. She’s just taking it a bit far. She insists on having her milk straight from source.
But I’m not willing to work with her on this one. I’m trying to give her some milk from a bottle every day. Yesterday I was set on trying until she had managed 20ml from her bottle, but she won. There’s just so much screaming I can take in one day.
I’m trying everything – twisting the bottle, moving her from breast to bottle without her noticing, different teats – but nothing works.
I need it to work by the weekend though. Her babysitter is coming for a few hours, so I’m counting on the fact that how long fads are followed is something that runs in the family. If we’re to go by how long Daddy T’s workout fads tend to be in season, I’m sure she’ll be good by Friday at least.
