I don't know how to really categorize this one as it was kinda a fail. I worked really hard to get E to nurse on a regular basis when he was first born and I was cleared from the rash incident but it just didn't go very well. So after 2 months he just one stopped nursing. He would go through phases of being really into it but still needing some type of bottle to not really wanting anything but a bottle. Then one day he just started refusing me so I guess I just gave up.
I know I've learned from this though that with our next LO if they are in the NICU then I will demand they do not bottle feed. They can use a syringe if need be. Yes it's a bit more of a pain for them but in the long it will help with the babies BF.
I became a wife on Aug. 22 2008. A mother on Sept. 4 2009. And now I am struggling with the realities of both and trying to balance my newfound life in WA as a stay-at-home mom (most of the time)and trying not to drive myself crazy missing my friends and family in AZ. Please follow along on our amusing and crazy ride called "Our Life"!
