 Topic: Argh! Help - bottle strike!
Posted: 15 February 2007 at 3:57pm |
Sienna is refusing to take her bottle. She hasn't had a decent feed all day. She's happy and smiley and doesn't seem sick, in fact when I put the bottle in her mouth she just grins at me and all the milk dribbles down her chin.
Has anyone else experienced this? What can I do? Am worried about her getting dehydrated, which will increase her risk of kidney infection

Eeek that must be stressful Emma! Will she take milk or boiled water off a spoon? That's what we did when I couldn't feed and Ben refused the bottle, to prevent him dehydrating. He thought it was hilarious but it did get a bit of fluids into him.

Well I have tried a different teat, a sippy cup and some water and the stubborn witch refused to take it and now she is in the cot screaming from being overtired (did I mention she also hasn't slept all day?) and probably from hunger as well.

Well I suspect once she wakes from a sleep like that she will probably enjoy the soothing feeling of feeding.... or at least I hope so!

i hope things are better now emma??
jack went through a faze of refusing the bottle when he was about sienna's age, would just look at you and laugh and play with it.....he snapped out of it one day about a month later.
but, as he was bf at the time it was ok. sorry, that doesn't really help you much does it

Thanks for your support  Little Miss finally realised she was hungry about 6pm and sculled 210ml which is unheard of for her. I guess she was just making sure I was paying attention to her
