Okay. So I'm exclusively breastfeeding & I just started school last week so she goes to head start . Before i started school i fed her with the bottle every now and then so she can start getting used to drinking from the bottle. She was doing good. And when I went to school it seemed like she was doing good. Until this weekend I tried feeding her from a bottle but she WILL NOT take it . She throws tthe biggest fit ever . my mother In law my boyfriend and a couple other people tried to give her the bottle but she doesn't take it she doesn't stop crying until I give her my boob. If I dont give her my boob she will not eat until I do. i dont see how the people from head start do it to make her drink from THE bottle .I even tried switching bottles and nipples nothing seems to help . Anyone know what I can do ? . And I notice ever since she started Head start and shes been drinking from the bottle she's been more gassy and has collic. Could it be cause of the bottles?
yes i have I tried a lot of nipples slow one's and the ones formed as a breast but she won't take them
@mommytoliliana, i use the kiinde slow nipple. If you haven't tried that one.
@kmally, fall!!!??? Like an accident? Im fighting to get my sons clipped. He's 3 weeks, i wanna get it over with before it becomes a problem. He nurses and takes a bottle fine but I'm nervous about it.
@dashhaberdash, by the time we found his he was "too old" for the places I could take him to get it clipped. They said if he didn't fall and tear it by the time he was 4 they would clip it. And sure enough around 15 months he fell and tore it! :'(
@kmally, did you get your sons clipped? My son has a tongue and lip tie
You can talk to your ped about it getting clipped. It can help with her latch :)
definitely could be. Does she have a lip tie?
what can i do to prevent that? i switched the nipple to the slow flow but i guess she still drinks it fast & Could it be that ?
It could be. She might be gulping/eating faster with the bottle. Sounds like she just misses mommy :) <3 She wants all the mommy time she can get on weekends so she wants it fresh from the tap lol.
Baby won't bear weight on leg
I have a walking 10 month old and she has been extra fussy yesterday and today. Today I noticed she didn't really want to crawl, she would just cry until I came and picked her up. After I fed her, I tried setting her down to play with her big sister and she just started crying and wouldn't put any weight on her left leg. She will put weight down on her right leg but then just cries until you pick her back up. I thought maybe she just didn't want to be put down (as ...
I can't believe it
My cousin stayed with me rent free from September 2015 to April 2016 and her stuff is still in my apartment. She's been saying she was going to come get her stuff for months. She text me this morning saying that she was going to come and get her stuff soon, and I asked her if I could have her air mattress. She tried to charge me $60 for it. The air mattress sells new for $35 on amazon and she didn't even pay $60 for it. I didn't respond and she just text me saying the $60 was...
I have to get Charley’s bloodwork done in order for her to start her head start program next month. I’m really nervous. How do they take a 2 years old blood?
Has anyone tried evening primrose oil to start soften they cervix ? My sister did it and she had her baby this morning at 39 weeks
@dashhaberdash, he was running outside and tripped :( it's super common for it to happen that way if it's not clipped when they're little. I would definitely recommend getting it clipped now if you can. There's a lot of bottle/latch/nursing/gassy issues that would have been alleviated had we known sooner.
