Success after IF

Oh dear lord!! So frustrated!!

Bottles! Again the freakin bottles!!! After we figured out the lipase issue, A took a few bottles like a pro. We give one bottle every morning. A few days ago she started fussing again but would eventually drink. Today and yesterday were total failures! She cried and screamed like a banshe and was not having any part of it. We haven't changed anything! I don't get it. I'm so frustrated and angry with myself for not giving her a bottle sooner. Uuugggggg!!!! I want to go cry now too....

    Sorry!! Try to remember that she won't die if she refuses a bottle when you're out/away and that if she gets hungry enough she will take it. Super frustrating though to think you've got it sorted out and for her to back track. FWIW my LO does that with the boob too. You might be doing everything right but she still doesn't want it. Hugs.

    Unexplained Infertility

    After two Clomid cycles, three injectable IUI cycles, two IVFs, two miscarriages, and one lap surgery, IVF #2 has brought us our little boy!

    TTC #2
    After months of being postponed or cancelled, FET #1.3 (Natural FET) brought us twin girls!

    Surprise! Baby #4 is due in March!
  • Try having your DH feed her while you are out of the room. She just might be angry that you are holding out on boobie when she knows it is right there (I say this as J is happily snacking boobie and starting a nap). Unless you are planning to switch to EP, there is no reason why you should bottle feed. She wants to comfort of boobie munching with you, and she can get bottle from others. Good luck!

  • I don't have any life-changing advice, but she will eventually drink from a bottle :) Mine had issues with bottles, but at daycare,  you have to drink from a bottle!  I'm sure you've tried a few?  I used Avent with all 3 of mine.  Good luck.  I know how frustrating that is, especially when they are worked up and you know LO is hungry and angry :(

    Thanks ladies! I was blowing off some steam before. There is no NEED for her to take a bottle I would just like the option. DH and I are in my brothers wedding in two weeks and my cousin is going to watch her during pictures and the ceremony and I was hoping that she would be able to give her a bottle during the ceremony to hopefully keep her quiet. I would also love to be able to go to a movie and not worry that my baby is hungry. I know that in the grand scheme of things this is not the end of the world, but it is causing me some stress.

    Thanks for listening! You girls are wonderful!
