Bottle Battles
Avery has been taking bottles since we came home from the hospital with no issues. We got a little lax on giving them to her the past month or so and now that I am heading back to work in 2 weeks we wanted to start giving them again more regularly. Sadly, Avery wants nothing to do with them (crying, screaming, pushing it away, gagging). We have tried waiting until she is really hungry, giving them to her when I am out of the house, different times of the day and nothing seems to work. We have a friend in Indy who had a similar problem and literally bought every type of bottle and nipple from BuyBuy Baby - she has loaned them to us and we will start testing them out soon to see if that will solve things. We have gotten some other suggestions like heating the milk up warmer than we have been.
Additionally, she has been very clingy to mom and dad. If one of us isn't in sight or holding her, she starts crying and getting really upset. It's as if she knows things are about to change. Poor thing.
We've got 12 days so am hoping we can figure things out before her first day of daycare. Feeling slightly panicked and sad to be leaving her......
