@cjohnston, o I drink lol but i can’t hardly drink more then two I feel sick I just can’t do it anymore plus there’s kids all over so that’s no fun haha
Not selfish at all! You’ve a right to feel that way. It’s HARD when they won’t take a bottle. Just makes you go crazy with wanting a little space. Mine wouldn’t until just before he turned 5 months old, he has a whole slew of oral motor issues though.
Have you tried a sippy or open cup with him? After 6 months you can skip the bottle and go straight to cups. The Honey Bear is an OT/Speech favorite - it’s a straw cup that looks exactly like what honey comes in. But it’s sqeezable so you can help teach baby how straws work.
He will only take a little bit from a sippy but it's better than with a bottle. I'll definitely have to try that. It's sooo hard when you just need a break and cant have one.
Thank you. Its really draining. Im working on trying to get him to take a bottle so I can have a little time to myself. I just feel like im going crazy not being able to just go out without kids for one night and just be me you know.
@cjohnston yeah I know. It can be very frustrating! Have you tried different bottles? He can even have a sippy cup. What I did with mine is I let them play with the sippy cup so they can get used to it. They'll explore it, bite on it, suck on it, throw it lol. Then on their own they'll start drinking from it. It worked my 2 of my kids
Ik how you feel out body is not our own till there one and as bad as we sound we wanna be that selfish sometime we have to so we can feel human again hopefully your partner can help like bottle feed the baby because sometime it drives me insane but we got to remember we do this for the bond for there health for there growth they lean on us for there Survival we are what keep them going you know what I mean hun
Thank you, I needed this. Unfortunately this little boy refuses a bottle so I feel so trapped sometimes. I haven't went out on a date in forever and I just need it you know.
@cjohnston I haven't been on a date in a long time it 6am over and I'm completely exhausted I I been up with my son since 11 yesterday he dose this cluster feeding and it gets me hungry not I'm just tried af lol
