While those teeth were pushing through she was SO upset (understandably so) and the only thing that soothed her was nursing... so she was nursing a lot more than usual. Now that the two teeth are out it's left me in a sticky situation, she refuses to take the bottle. I tried giving the bottle while snuggling with her, rocking with her, sitting her in a chair; even offered different bottles/nipples and Colin tried to feed her - all of which she refused (I wasted a lot of milk in this process). We have tickets to go see a big comedian/actor at Rexal place on Sunday and we've found the perfect babysitter but that means nothing if I can't get little Lana to take a bottle!
This morning, after a days break of trying to get her to bottle feed, I offered it again. She drank 1oz and then didn't want any more, so we carried on with our morning. After about an hour I put her in her pink chair and offered the bottle again with some "fresh" milk, she took another 2oz. She also took a couple tbsp of cereal and then it was nap time! I bounced on my medicine ball for about 2mins until she stopped her fussing then put her down in a semi-conscious state, she rubbed her face into the bumper pad and that was it.... she was out! I can't believe the morning's gone and I have yet to nurse her!! There is hope! My goal is to have a nursing-free day, keep your fingers crossed!
