Christine,
i have read some of your replies to other members sharing your expirience about your babies. I noticed that we have some similarities and i was wonder if i can ask for your advice.
You wrote in another thread that you have to pased the floors while holding your baby’s bottle in their mouth some they can drink and still would take you about an hour to get her to drink three ounces.
Oh boy that’s exactly my situation right now. My question is how do you cope with giving her the bottle? Kendra cried and obviosly said no with her little head (going back and forth and turning away constantly) from you , meaning “mommy please it hurts don’t make me drink it”? i get so sad and upset that i have to force her to drink. She would get dehydrtated if i don’t and won’t gain weight (which is already very little). many times i feel like just giving her what she wants which is like two ounces,but it just doesn’t work b/c she would not eat if i try an hour later to give her the rest. She eats very there hours liek 4-5 ounces after much effort and forcing. Itried sleep feeding her at night, but then she started not sleeping good any more. I feel like iam betraying her, hurting her and she cries and i just feel deshearted sometimes. Am i doing the right thing, by forcing her to drink? Please any advice will be apprecciate it.
Anybody else, please feel free to jump in
thanks
