My little Addie bug is addicted to the boobie.
You know, when Braxton was born...we had problems breastfeeding and basically went straight to the bottle after a week or so. Opposite problem with Addie. We couldn't switch to a bottle if we tried (and yes we have!)
When my little princess was a month old or so, we introduced the bottle. At first she didn't care for it. Then she realized milk was coming out of it! She sucked down bottles in minutes and cried for more. Didn't matter to her, food was food.
Then....BAM, 3 months hits. It's a total bottle STRIKE. It's been a month and she still will not take a bottle.
Remember when I blogged about leaving the kids overnight with my grandma? What I forgot to blog about was that, THAT was the night Addie decided the bottle was not good enough for her. I was without my phone for SEVEN hours while DH and I were on our date. When I got back home to my phone I had multiple calls from my grandma. I called her back only to find out little Addie hadn't ate a bit the entire time we were gone. =0 We immediatly drove over to pick her up. I nursed her and she ate for a good 30 minutes!
Since then we have tried giving her a bottle and she will not have it. She's boobie addicted. We're trying to break this addiction. I wasn't sure if it was my frozen milk that was the problem or if it was the bottle so I pumped some milk and DH offered it to her in a bottle....she had a FIT! So its not that the frozen milk was bad or something. Definetly the bottle so tonight we went out and bought a few different types of bottles/nipples in hopes of finding one she will accept.
Wish us luck!!
